The problem that is the media
The media needs to introspect about the steep increase in the dissatisfaction with it.Between 1980 and 1997, I was a full-time journalist. Since then I have been a columnist for this newspaper. This takes up, on average, about three hours a day. In the remaining time, I do a bit of this and a bit of that and it is great fun.But since my primary ide... more...

The Assassins - 3
It had always been competition between the two of them. For a career spanning decades, both had built a reputation for themselves. Highly effective though entirely different methods.
