In today's ratings-driven 24/7 news media? You must be an optimist. "We remember the sardonic war-time joke about the optimist and the pessimist. The optimist was the man who did not mind what happened so long as it did not happen to him. The pessimist was the man who lived with the optimist." --WSC, 1938 It was Finest Hour's judgment to make light of the whole business because we knew the media were hoping we'd spout and fume so they could pile fuel on the fire and hopefully improve their ratings--some of them actually called us to see if we would bite. "These gentlemen of the press were listening carefully to every word you said—all eagerly anxious for a tiny morsel of cheese which they could publish. And you go and give them a whole ruddy Stilton!" --WSC, 1941, on an indiscreet interview by Rear Admiral Thompson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
