Via Low Culture, the following quotation from a shining example of the trade magazine, Broadcasting and Cable:

“I’m not gonna get suckered into voting again,” she says. “Why should we sit here and waste two hours of our time when our votes aren’t going to be counted?”

As the snark notes, “The article, subtitled ‘An in-depth look at America’s most popular show reveals a seriously flawed voting system,’ might have better read, ‘An in-depth look at America’s most popular show reveals a seriously flawed America.'”

For more bitchiness, look for reviews of the latest from Ken Haruf and David Brooks, both of whom have committed the mortal sin of producing more of what worked so well last time.
