Quote of the Day

When you have media organs viewing fear-mongering as a payday, senior politicians seeing fear-mongering as sound political strategy, and terrorists considering fear-mongering as a victory unto itself, where are citizens expected to find a voice of reason?
--Matthew T. Felling (of the Center for Media and Public Affairs), quoted in the Chronicle about a study showing that government (and news media) hyping of terror threats actually serves the interests of the terrorists (well, duh).

[That's all, folks]
