broadcast media are obsessed with the media. Take obituaries, for example. Compare the BBC news editor's choice of who they do an obit on with the decisions made by the broadsheets.
When did you last see an item on the TV news about the death of a serviceman who not many had heard of but turned out to have led the raid on the u-boat pens in nothing but his pants, or a bishop or an architect or painter, the head of the civil service, a great head teacher or university professor?
