It’s funny that network news programs remain popular. Why get your news from such a limited source – and to boot, one that knows nothing about what you’re really interested in? Take, for example, the nightly reporting of the Dow and Nasdaq. Is that actually relevant to most people’s lives? The answer is no – but it’s a proxy for something more specific that you’d otherwise want but the new isn’t in a position to give you. Same thing with the news – you don’t really get what you want, but it serves a proxy for what you do.

I gave up on traditional media while reading the newspaper one day. Lowest common denominator. There's one big story (Cheney shot some guy! Sharon had a stroke!) that doesn't mean anything while there are 50 wars/incredible changes going on.
Thanks for coming to our transactions class the other day.
