When former Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg was named the Voice's new Press Clips writer a few weeks back, replacing Jarret Murphy, he promised to bring a fresh energy to the task despite his age (71 years young!). The proof is in the pudding this week:

The press has been grappling with how to cope with this extreme control and distortion of news, some reporters and editors more than others. One possibility they might consider is civil resistance, as in quiet, nonviolent, respectful rebellion.

Funny how you have to be over 70 these days to give real fuck about the quality of journalism, eh? (The Thoreau quote is a nice touch.) Next up: Schanberg teams with Helen Thomas, brings down Western Civilization. We'll be there drinking a margarita.
