I've seen enough significant events to know that there's no hope that our elite political journalists (#notalljournalists) will change their behavior when confronted by some serious shit going down. It's been an eventful 20 years or so! And, well, same nonsense.
Oldheads might remember there was a bit of public self-reflection after 9/11, coming as it did at the end of THE SUMMER OF THE SHARK. Time to take things seriously!!! And, well, you know how that all turned out.
