	Online NewsHour: A Tribute to Robert MacNeil -- October 20, 1995 \| PBS
		ROBERT MacNEIL: I think the neat thing about that is you lose one almost 65-year-old white male and you gain a lot more attractive, younger, varied people from all over the country and all that.
		ROBERT MacNEIL: Well, I'm going to have the great luxury, I think it is, for the first time in virtually forty years that I've been mostly in daily journalism of being able to wake up in the morning and not have to fill my head up with the sort of stuff you're just describing.
		ROBERT MacNEIL: Finally, I'd just like to say to the audience how grateful I am to public television nationally and to all the 300 local stations who carry us for the opportunity you've given me to work in a manner I could be proud of when I went home every night.

	Robert MacNeil defends American English (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		MacNeil mentioned two extremes of American linguistic critics: The “prescriptivists,” who claim that “the language is going to hell,” and want to enforce strict grammatical rules; and the “descriptivists,” who say that changes in a language evidence a culture’s changing nature and creativity, and should not and cannot be stopped.
		At one point, MacNeil said, he argued that the term “media” should be plural, because of both its Latin origin as a plural noun and the variety of news sources in the country.
		MacNeil noted the increasing use of a Californian dialect, with elements of “valley girl” and “surfer dude.” This particular dialect includes “raising inflection of ends of sentences so they turn them into questions?” and the use of ‘like’ as a placeholder—a phenomenon MacNeil is baffled to see even on the East Coast.

		He said coverage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was “the news media at their finest” — but that gradually the media had returned to “inconsequence and sensation.” Sept. 11 “made the media, from the most serious to the most trivial, know what mattered — for a while,” he said.
