I speak as someone who spent several years as a freelance magazine columnist and got quite a close look at how the news is made. What makes you think I'm insulting journalists? Moreover, a short sound bite isn't the place for nuanced analyses of how the media works. But it is maybe the right place to try and help people who're feeling overloaded right now by the glut of bad news spinning up around the bombings in Boston. Not to mention the other bomb deaths of April 15th -- Iraq (55), Afghanistan (37), Somalia (30), Syria (18), and Pakistan (4).
