Every once in a while I come across a quote that makes me mute with contemplation. The following is one such grouping.
"Arrogance is America's No. 1 disease, its most plentiful natural
resource. No American industry is more arrogant than the media,
particularly the television wing of the media. Cursed with good looks,
the ability to enunciate most words and access to the best parties and
sociably acceptable drugs, TV people really believe they're smarter than
everyone else and essential to maintaining the myth of a true democracy.
Ten years ago you could say the exact same thing about print journalists except for the good looks and access to parties. But we've been humbled. Bloggers have proven that we're not that smart. In fact, we're really rather stupid and stale."
- Jason Whitlock, FOX SPORTS
This guy's self-degradation belies his insight. Brilliant Jason!

I love this quote. I hate arrogance of any kind, especially unwarranted arrogance. The press really seems to be full of unwarranted arrogance.
