Quote by Eric Alterman
If newspapers were a baseball team, they would be the Mets - without the hope for those folks at the very pinnacle of the financial food chain - who average nearly $24 million a year in income - 'next year.'
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that newspapers are similar to the New York Mets baseball team. It implies that newspapers, like the Mets, often lack hope for improved financial success in the future. The comparison to the Mets' high-income players insinuates that the wealthiest individuals in the newspaper industry also possess an unconvincing optimism about their income prospects.
