The fusion of news and entertainment, the rise of a class of celebrity journalists on television who define reporting by their access to the famous and the powerful, the retreat by many readers into the ideological ghettos of the Internet and the ruthless drive by corporations to destroy the traditional news business are leaving us deaf, dumb and blind.

When you scan a news portal or magazine, all the human interest stuff is the same old he-said-she-said, the politics and economics the same cyclical dramas, the fashions a pathetic illusion of newness; even the technology is predictable if you know the science behind it. Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly

like the fox I run with the hunted and if I’m not the happiest man on earth I’m surely the luckiest man alive.

The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent.

There are times when you see the news, and you go, "How the hell am I meant to do anything tonight?"

Try it, folks, try it. Try it for a week without watching cable news.

And news must, in turn, follow the form to which we - our bodies - are accustomed: describe the event, incite the fear, then say how it's being addressed, how the herd's alpha males are dealing with it.
