"When the Washington Post  unveiled the slogan
'Democracy Dies in Darkness,' on February 17, 2017,
people in the news business made fun of it.
'Sounds like the next Batman movie,' the New York Times’ 
executive editor, Dean Baquet, said."

— Louis Menand in The New Yorker ,
"When Americans Lost Faith in the News," Jan. 30, 2023.
