Mickey Cray Had Been Out Of Work

I Got Overwhelmed By The Magnitude Of The Celebrity Culture In America. My Background Is As A News Journalist, And Newsrooms In The Us Are Shrinking - Investigation Teams Are Being Terminated Or Shrunk On Newspapers All Around The Country. The One Aspect That's Expanded Is Coverage Of Celebrity Culture.

From My Experience, Politicians Are Much More Uncomfortable Being Made Fun Of Than They Are Being Preached At And Screeched At - You Know, And The Soapbox Routine. They're Much More Uneasy Knowing They're A Target Of Ridicule.

The First Rule Of Hurricane Coverage Is That Every Broadcast Must Begin With Palm Trees Bending In The Wind.

Obviously You Have To Make A Profit To Put Out A Newspaper. I'm Not An Idiot. But When The Margins Are In Excess Of 25 Per Cent You're Talking About Greed.

I Never Laugh Or Smile When I Am Writing. When I Come Home For Lunch After Writing All Morning, My Wife Says I Look Like I Just Came Home From A Funeral. This Is Not Bragging. This Is An Illness.
