Pow! Wham!
That quote from the very first Spider-Man comic book that led off Dave Kopel’s On the Media column of June 2, “Talk-show hosts amok,” was very good, but check out this one by Mark Twain:
“In the first place, God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made school boards.”
Does Kopel think Batman and Dick Tracy will support his efforts to “refocus” the Caplis & Silverman Show away from Boulder?
By the way, how many comic books did Kopel have to read to qualify as a media critic?
Patrick O’Connor, Castle Rock
Whaaa?

One might well assume that Kopel read about as many comic books to qualify for his job as Kaplis did to become a talk-radio personality. The difference there being, simply, that comic books are part of media in many ways, therefore being legitimate reading for a media critic.
What's the excuse for Kaplis as a radio talk show blatherskite?
