Andrew Sullivan reminds me of a great quote from DFW's piece on talk radio that was published in The Atlantic:
"KFI's John Ziegler is not a journalist — he is an entertainer. Or maybe it's better to say that he is part of a peculiar, modern, and very popular type of news industry, one that manages to enjoy the authority and influence of journalism without the stodgy constraints of fairness, objectivity, and responsibility that make trying to tell the truth such a drag for everyone involved. It is a frightening industry, though not for any of the simple reasons most critics give."
Ziegler is such a classy guy that he used the occasion of DFW's suicide to publicly blast the newly deceased. Good times.
