Old Women over their tea

MANIFESTO

The Newseum has now been open for nearly a week, and it remains one of the most self-congratulatory buildings ever constructed. (I'm looking at you, Donald Trump.) Its $20 admission fee pretty much reveals what its sponsors—NBC, Fox, et allia—are up to: taking advantage of the public.

I suppose I'd feel a little better about the building and its intent if last night's demonstration of what news and news reporting have become in this country hadn't been so godawful.
