Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal (2004)

A clock, of course, because that son of a bitch Hildy Johnson stole Ben Hecht's watch.

Second hands aren't usually sloppy or biased; they don't generally live by advertising; and so have to flatter their adverstisers; they don't have an agenda of their own to promote; and they aren't quite as self-important as so many journalists, editors and proprietors. When, for instance, did a second hand last make up the time from its own apartment? No, I'd have much more faith in the second hand of a $5 clock than I would in any "paper of record".

On the other hand, I just tried to ask the second hand of my clock for stock prices and a weather report, but I didn't get an answer. I see the van from the local insane asylum is drawing up outside, so I have to go.

Lucky you to have a bus! When I was your age we used to walk 2 miles to and fro that same place. But try to tell that to the young people today. They won't believe you. They won't.
As for the weather, I peek at the sky now and again --gives me a bead on the time too.

Balance in all things. No one relies on "just" the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years when knowing "what time is it?" Blogs and newspapers and TV reporting are good for what they are, that that being ephemora of the oment. I read histories and scholarly works for the longer view. All are imporatnt.

How about "Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers" is like trying to measure the speed of your car by just looking at your watch. (No fair looking out the window). Some physicist ("space entrepreneur") will tell me that this can be done by measuring acceleration and integrating. OK, OK, you can determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers and then doing some analog of integration.

My favorite is a short newsreel of the Marx Bros. goofing around on a studio backlot. Groucho asks "Hey, what time is it?" Chico lifts his wrist, looks at his watch, and says "It's 1931". It jumps right off the screen, as if they were still alive, right in front of you.

I think you could count Hecht correct only by a conclusive proof that his era wasn't a faulted precursor, necessary if not sufficient, to our own messy time. Else maybe those oldsters should have read the papers MORE?
