Quote by Carl Bernstein, In Guardian, (Lo

The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context.

Summary

In today's news industry, the most significant offense is falling behind or failing to cover a major story. Consequently, the emphasis is often on being the fastest and producing a high volume of news, rather than focusing on delivering comprehensive and high-quality reporting. This leads to a trade-off where speed and quantity often take precedence over thoroughness, accuracy, and providing crucial context to the audience.

Alas! they had been friends in youth; But whispering tongues

Alas! they had been friends in youth; But whispering tongues can poison truth, And constancy lives in realms above; And life is thorny; and youth is vain; And to be wroth with one we love Doth work like madness in the brain.

The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics.Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.http://www.michaelcrichton.net/speech-alienscauseglobalwarming.html
