Sam Smith, 2006
My view has long been that news is something that has happened, something that is happening or something that is going to happen. News is not what someone said about what is happening nor what someone perceived was going to happen nor what the editors thought the impact of something happening would be on its readership.

Once again, I find myself in the minority. It turns out that
by current media standards about the only thing that matters any more is what
someone said about something.
In the end, we're not going to be able to talk our way out
of climate change, find the right spin to end the Iraq war, brand ourselves
into a decent diversity, or find the phrases to bring more economic fairness.
It would be nice if the media recognized this and went back to covering more of
the reality of life and less of what someone said about it.
