We like our journalists refreshing, so it should not come as a surprise that we relished Seymour Hersh's comment about firing 90% of editors and promoting those you cannot control.
The shrill and useless productions in what passes for news in the country we like so much look even shriller and utterly pointless from a few thousand miles away.
Rest assured, much of German news looks very similar from a distance, although the Germans still have a little ways to go to achieve that level of wallowing, whiny worship of the irrelevant.
And there is National Public Radio in the US of A, that maligned broadcast gem with pockets of sanity and hope.
So, instead of joining the chorus of pessimists, we will spend Sunday with the NPR shows "This American Life", "Snap Judgement" and a couple of others.
