Looking for a particularly great journalism quote, I stumbled into embarrassing sexism at CBS News.

Writing the previous post, I was looking for what I thought of as the greatest quote about journalism: "The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."

I clicked with confidence on "Best. Journalism Quotes. Ever." at CBS News, from a few years back, 2007. That might have been before I got. fed. up. with. that. form. of. comic. punctuation, but I'll bet it wasn't.

The quote I was looking for wasn't even on this ranked list of 10 quotes, but what astonished me was what the author, Michael Felling, deemed appropriate to put not only on the list but in first place: "A news story should be like a mini skirt on a pretty woman. Long enough to cover the subject but short enough to be interesting."

How sexist do you have to be to think that was even worth repeating?

That dumb, embarrassing joke beat out the second-place quote from Thomas Jefferson:

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

Oh, how depressing. Now, I have to disagree with Thomas Jefferson. I'd rather have government. Especially if we just get rid of newspapers and can keep the internet.
