Print shows a newspaper owner, possibly meant to be Joseph Pulitzer, sitting in a chair in his office next to an open safe where "Profits" are spilling out onto the floor; outside this scene are many newspaper reporters for the "Daily Splurge" rushing to the office to toss their stories onto the printing press, such stories as "A Week as a Tramp!! Wild and Exciting Experiences of a Daily Splurge Reporter", "A Reporter of the Daily Splurge Spends a Thrilling Week in an Asylum!", "An Organ Grinder's Life", "Life in Sing Sing - a Splurge Reporter in Disguise", "Divorce Court Details", "Private Scandal", "a Night Around Town" by a woman reporter "in Men's Attire", life on the streets "As a Flower Girl", "Thrilling Exposé", "How beggars are treated on 5th Ave. by Fanny Fake", and "High Spiced Sensation". A notice hanging on the wall of the office states "The Motto of the Daily Splurge - Morality and a High Sense of Duty".

Jason Kottke has a great post about “Experts Said…” this week. I highly suggest that you check it out.

Large media companies, and the NY Times in particular these days, like to use the phrase “experts said” instead of simply stating facts.

Experts said that this is a great post showing how language and news can impact our thoughts.
