Gregory's Server@rysiek I don't disagree, but if you think about it, it makes probably makes sense to them because large media organizations are (mostly) profit driven private services that control the space for public debate. I'm not saying this is a good situation, but capitalism won that battle more than 100 years ago as far as I can tell.

 @rysiek Sure. But maybe it helps calibrate expectations. I don't think the New York Times (or Guardian, or ...) will save us.  @bremner I never said they would "save us" (for whatever definition of "save" and "us" we might be using here). But they sure contributed to the crisis, which is the point I was making. |
@bremner explanation is not justification. Saying *why* it is so doesn't make it okay that it is so.
And in this case it perhaps even makes it worse.
