@Sheril Read Walter Lippmann. He was oddly prescient about what could happen 100 years ago. Of course he was talking about newspapers but the point was the same. We don't like to pay for our news but advertisers pay. That leads to We are not the customer we are the product on twitter. This leads immediately to #propaganda since Those who own the media control the propaganda. We furiously agree. If we are willing to pay for it, we can get a better democracy.
