Repulsive
From the most excellent Flat Earth News, a rip-roaring (I've always said that phrase should be used more) tale of corruption, falsehood and propaganda in journalism:
The readers are never wrong. Repulsive, maybe, but never wrong.- Piers Morgan, as editor of the Daily Mirror, referring to how he lost circulation due to the paper's stance against the Iraq invastion.
Flat Earth News is a great book, and I can recommend it to everyone who is disappointed with the state of global journalism, and even more to anyone who thinks journalism is in general doing a good job.
