“Television news looks as if it was lifted from Rudyard Kipling’s portrait of the Bandar-log monkeys in The Jungle Book. The Bandar-log, considered insane by the other animals in the jungle because of their complete self-absorption, lack of discipline and outsized vanity, chant in unison: “We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all the jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true.”
