It is the job of diplomats to make the best out of any given situation.
It is the job of journalists, writers and historians to say very clearly and without hesitation what the situation *is*.
Both jobs are important but they are not the same.

"Diplomatic? I am not a diplomat. So F*** that!“
"Right but I don't work for you, so."
(Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons.)
“I am doing my job” and “I don’t work for you” are very much underused in the modern zeitgeist.

The job of journalism has ALWAYS been to sell periodicals.
The job of historians has always been to receive patronage.
Stop making the media more than it is
