In his latest traveling show, comedy superstar Jerry Seinfeld makes an apt and very funny point: Why do cable TV news shows continually scroll the latest information across the bottom of the screens? As Seinfeld points out, this is television. "If we wanted to read, we'd look at a newspaper," he says.As usual, this humorist for our generation has put his finger on the essence of America and the new information age. News today is one wild and spinning circus. The secret to the survival of newspapers will come when their leadership and writers recognize the public really doesn't live or die based on our every written word!
