Don’t Let News Get in the Way of a Good Story:
“I absolutely believe that the media is not ideologically driven but conflict-driven. If we have a bias it's not that people are socially liberal or fiscally conservative or vice versa, it is that we are engaged in the storytelling business. And if you tell the same story again and again and again, it's kind of boring.”
—Jon Meacham, editor, Newsweek, on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart (1/21/08) (Thanks to alert WORDster Ross Martin)
