“An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.”

This certainly is true with regard to information -- news -- about what is going on in the world. The good news about the news is that there is more and better news out there [as of 2005] than ever before in history. The bad news about the news is that not all of the more is better. The trick is to know how to separate the wheat from the chaff and, thinking of the remark, above, by Adlai Stevenson, concentrating on the wheat. (Another bit of bad news is that masses of people pay more attention to news schlock than to news pearls.) ..." --><br>This statement has also been attributed https://books.google.com/books?id=d6JZryGvfxYC&pg=PA210&lpg=PA210&dq=adlai+chaff#v=onepage&q=adlai%20chaff&f=false to an earlier usage by Elbert Hubbard.
