>>Kelly admits that the kind of news reports he wants to see aren't very sexy and probably won't do anything for the journalists' careers, but that's tough. "Sure, reporting that everybody is ready for Y2K isn't going to sell, but they're supposed to strive for accuracy, not sensationalism," said Kelly.

He wonders if the mass media would like it if the shoe were on the other foot.
