Quote by Jimmy Breslin

The only reason this country is different from any place else is that once in a great while, this huge, snobbish, generally untalented news reporting business stops covering stories of interest only to itself and actually serves the public.

Summary

This quote suggests that the uniqueness of this country lies in the sporadic instances when the news reporting industry, which is often conceited and lacking talent, breaks away from self-serving stories and truly serves the public's interest.

The quote may be pointing out the rarity of such responsible reporting and its impact on shaping the nation's distinctiveness.

I don't know why I feel so wounded with Kartik's obvious infatuation with Pippa. There's no romance between us. There's nothing that tethers us but this dark secret neither of us wants.

I'll always have to wonder whether I'm truly wanted or whether I've just been settled for.
