Every newspaper in the country has a daily astrology column. Almost none have a daily science column.
Cornelia Dean - NY Times (via jtotheizzoe)
Evidently, none has a grammar column either. (Remember, kids, “none” is singular, as in “no one”.)
“No one has.” Not, “No one have.”
Conversely, “data” is plural. So is “media,” unless you’re saying “the media” (as in tv, etc.). Then it can be singular.

This Carl Sagan quote is misattributed to Cornelia Dean. I believe it was first used in Cosmos (TV, 1980). “Virtually every newspaper in America has a daily column on astrology. Almost none of them have even a weekly column on astronomy.” - CS
