Bark's bite bitten, which bites

Ed Bark is in many circles considered the Dean of American TV critics. Ed Bark understands TV as well as if not better than any network executive.

Ed Bark was the guy who got Shannen Doherty to weep histrionically at this summer's TV Press Tour.

If TV didn't exist, it would have to be invented, just so Ed Bark could write about it.

The Dallas Morning News has unceremoniously dumped Bark, who was the city's authoritative voice on TV for decades, along with a significant portion of its arts staff, along with many veteran reporters and editors.

If Ed Bark can be treated this way, no one's job -- in any industry -- is safe.
