Black and White and Dead All Over. Somewhere in the forest, a tree is cut down. It is loaded onto a giant truck and hauled a vast distance to a factory, where the trees is turned into huge rolls of paper. These rolls are loaded onto another truck and hauled another vast distance to another factory, where they are covered in ink, chopped up, folded, stacked, tied and loaded onto a third set of trucks, which fan out across cities and regions dropping bundles here and there

I once interviewed for a job at the law firm that represents the Weekly World News and its sister publication, the National Enquirer. The partner who handles their work told me about some of the interesting libel defense cases he'd done for the Enquirer.

Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
