I do know that, although I still feel 20, I can't run for as long, drink as much, or bound up mountains like I use to. Nowadays the older you get, the sooner it gets late.

I should make a list and number them... but, 40 years ago this one would have been "we have space to fill" and we don't want it to count as advertising, but if we can interview our advertisers and call it news, hey... great! <br /><br />That one used to be limited, but on the internet, it's not. Now it's "can you get a click" because column inches and clicks are unlimited. <br /><br />Not theory -- news in all its outlet incarnations has always been propaganda. The most effective propaganda ever put forward is that news could ever be objective.<br />Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.com
