I remember Candy Crowley, and other reporters as well, treating his views on the impending war as ridiculous, out there, almost insane.
Can advertising foist an inferior product on the consumer? Bitter experience has taught me that it cannot. On those rare occasions when I have advertised products which consumer tests have found inferior to other products in the same field, the results have been disastrous.
The more disastrous the mishaps the simpler the reviewing task.
