- I don't object to attention being paid to the country's future King and his future Queen. I object furiously to giving over half of a half-hour news program to that and that alone, even where it is agonizingly clear that the journalists are just filling time and repeating themselves over and over again. Five minutes are enough. This is bad journalism, period; it is sickening mental sloth. In this case, it is certainly making my inner Republican stir; but whether or not I objected to the subject, I would still object, as I object and have objected in the past, to the grotesque waste of time spent in trying to find something else to say about a story that can be covered in five minutes, while others clamour uselessly for attention.
