Yep, ‘thank goodness’
From an Adbusters interview with Helen Thomas:
AB: Do you recall a time or a moment in history when journalism was more heroic than it has been in recent years?
HT: Every other time but this time. And it’s because of 9/11. People wanted to be more patriotic and were afraid of rocking the boat. From there, we segued into a war where reporters were worried about jeopardizing the troops. So there was a heavy cloud and reporters had to fall in line for awhile. But they’re coming out of it, thank goodness.
