Media in the day

Mark Twain wrote of Journalism in Tennessee. "Do you suppose my subscribers are going to stand such gruel as that? ... Mush-and-milk journalism gives me the fan-tods."

The modern editorial (and reporting, but I repeat myself) tone is slightly more "elevated," though the intent is the same. And the modern editor/reporter never deals with consequences.
