“But the need for hatchetry has never been greater: Sometimes journalists need big guns to bag their quarry: They must turn prosecutorial and busy themselves with accuracy instead of “fairness.” This is especially true when covering people who lord immense governmental or corporate power over the rest of us. When writing about such potentates as Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, journalists should always proceed under the presumption that the subject is up to no good. (Journalists, who wield inordinate power, should be fair game for the hatcheteers, too.)”—

Jack Schafer

And that goes for you too young Hollywood “journalists”

“I don’t know why everyone thinks the high part and the low part of the brow are the only good parts,” he says. “When did the middle get to be the bad brow? It’s like, ‘Oh, that’s so bourgeois!’ Let me put this in perspective: we don’t really like miserable poverty, and we don’t really like gigantic, asshole-ish 1% creephood. I think we’re actually for the middle class. So make sure the middle class actually has some interesting stuff to think about.”—James Schamus on the disappearance of quality middlebrow. A world where there is nothing in between Transformers and Upstream Color gets closer every day.
