On The Media: Where Do You Get Your News?

[simple schoolboy]

We are living through a historic, technology-fueled shift in the balance of power between the media and its subjects. The subjects are winning.

I assume by subjects they mean the stories they cover, but I can't help thinking this is the Freudian slips of all Freudian slips.

Between this and the Times Scott Alexander piece, the prestige papers have had a rough couple of days.

I'm making a comment on the imagined ethical superiority of these smug elitists who think they are fighters for the downtrodden when they are part of the problem. The stupidity of the herd is a different matter.

but you're right about not having a landing zone. We're gonna crash into a mountain and hope for the best!

No way that was a slip

A double entendre, perhaps?

I saw that quote in an article that said Musk should buy the Chicago Tribune to clap back at Bezos on a more regular basis.

Except I never saw this coming.

What do you mean Bi_3?
That McNeil thought he could just take one on the chin and move on but instead it KO'd him?

[The Town]

That was a really good read.

“But Donald, you’ve lost the newsroom. People are hurt. People are saying they won’t work with you because you didn’t apologize.”

I definitely came away thinking it wasn't McNeil that lost the newsroom but instead Dean Baquet and NY Times' management.
150 really smart professionals that are also really stupid.

I really benefited from the equally frank and intelligent professors I had in college.

I cannot imagine what that guy must of been feeling as all this was happening

Part Four is exactly what you thought it would be, powerful children upset at being challenged:

Hate to say it, but it’s probably best to just stay the hell away from anyone high school aged rather than risk this happening to you
