Quote by Frederic Raphael
The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labor in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.
Summary
This quote implies that television critics, regardless of their aspirations, do not experience the same work and challenges as the individuals they criticize. Their perspective on television is biased and negative because they tend to focus on the flaws rather than appreciating the content. The use of the phrase "grapes are all sour" suggests that these critics have a fixed negative perception, undermining their ability to offer an objective analysis of television shows and disregarding any potential merits or achievements.
