Journalists are saints, but Murdoch is a sinner  If you want
more context about the quote on this page by William Powers,
columnist with America's National Journal, it comes from a short
article about Rupert Murdoch's potential purchase of Dow Jones
and its flagship, the Wall Street Journal.  It continues: "The
best newsrooms in America, including the Journal's, are run by
people who believe in journalism itself, and its ability to
illuminate, make sense of, and improve the world. It's a quaint
notion, wildly out of step with the culture and, to more
practical minds, bordering on the ridiculous. But it's this core
belief, and the way it's reflected in the work every day, that
make those newspapers desirable in the first place to people
like Murdoch." (Via National Journal)  Today's best video
