“When were the media better?” Gore Vidal was asked by an interviewer for The
Progressive magazine.
They were never much good, Vidal said, but were a little better in the past. For example, they even had foreign correspondents.
“There’s nobody abroad now. The New York Times gave up being anything except a kind of shadow of the Wall Street Journal. The Washington Post is a Court circular. What has the Emperor done today? And who will be the undersecretary of the secretary of agriculture? As though these things mattered.”
