“My reaction to that button [`Rather Biased’] and others, in part, is a button I bought yesterday that says `Yeah, I’m In The Media, Screw You!’….I do understand why a lot of people are upset with us, why we rank somewhere between terrorists and bank robbers on the approval scale. We do criticize. That’s part of our role. Our role is not just to parrot what people say, it’s to make people think. I think that sometimes I want to say to the electorate `Grow up!’”

The late Ginny Carroll, bureau chief in first Detroit and then Houston of the then-Washington Post-owned Newsweek, on C-Span after admitting she wore a button labeled “Yeah, I’m In The Media, Screw You!” at the 1992 Republican convention.
