...quite a lot of facts fit to print that don't appear in the New York Times"--primarily because not enough space is made available by the editors. In its analysis, as well as its spot news coverage, he said, the Times' editorial bias often causes it to accept at face value official assurances of progress...

Well, no, but we accept his breakdown because we are more interested in seeing that he gets his comcuppance than in justifying it psychologically. And surely our wishes rather than our reallife expectations are satisfied by the simultaneous flowering of the hero and deflowering of the heroine...
