Läs mellan raderna - The Wire S05.01

(Director David Simon's) is an idealistic vision of what a newspaper should be, one that\nyoung people who've always received their news from the Internet or\nfrom \"The Daily Show\" can't begin to understand. This disconnect makes\nSimon's portrait all the more devastating. Easy as it is to take\nnewspaper writers waxing nostalgic about the glory days of newspapers\nwith a grain of salt, \"The Wire\" presents characters that make you feel\nthis loss in a palpable way. It's a testament to the corporate\npillaging of the news that's occurred over the last two decades that it\ndoesn't even occur to most of us to expect more from our local\nnewspapers than a handful of wire stories and a few relevant but buried\npieces about local crime or politics, languishing in the entrails of\nthe Metro section.
