To “lionize” (LY-uh-nize) – from the word “lion” – is to treat or regard as an object of great interest or importance.

Example (as used by Jay Nordlinger in the National Review): “But the urge to lionize him [Alfred Brendel] is an indication that we live in a terrible age for pianists. There is today almost no pianist worth crossing the street for.”

Testimonials

  • Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head.

    “Just had to say that Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head about the media and so called ‘journalism’ in his article ‘How to Make More Money During a Recession.’

    “Absolutely brilliant and spot on. They have to fill so many newspaper/magazine pages and so much TV airtime that any ‘news’ item is completely overexposed and hyped up. (Swine flu is a good example.) It also seems that many journalists really don’t know much about the subjects they are writing about. Fortunately, the same cannot be said about Early to Rise.

    “Keep up the good work.”
