From a Timothy Egan column in today's NY Times on the topic of America's current meanness:
"I trace the contempt of the press to Rush Limbaugh, whose longstanding goal was to equate what he called the “drive-by media” — that is, fact-checking news organizations staffed by underpaid people devoted to their craft — with fact-challenged, overcompensated, partisan gasbags like himself. It worked."
