The role of the media, in its highest form, is to inform and protect the public. Few establishments embrace that duty quite like the New York Post.
Not only did the Post run a Friday cover story on some naked loon patrolling Times Square, but it reported on a 13-year-old boy who was hospitalized after getting pelted with books for being a wise-ass during a game of "Quiet."
Those most fascinating part of the article was not that the boy hailed from Staten Island or that he was proficient in making "farting noises" — those are pretty much givens — it's that the 6-paragraph article carries two bylines. Two!
The New York Post may seem like a bird-dropping catcher to some, but when it's assigning two people to report on a case of a game of Quiet gone bad, due to farting sounds and flying books, you can rest assured we've received all the information we need regarding the war in Iraq.
