Today's Word—Losers of the Fourth Estate

It's the News, Stupid!

“The big winners so far have been the voters, who can now see their states counted, not counted out. The big losers have been the members of the Fourth Estate. Too many of us forgot something central to our work: it’s called news because we don’t know how it’s going to turn out.”
Anna Quindlen, Newsweek columnist, on the press’s poor political prognostication, 2008
