maybe aggregation itself is the problem? will there be a final return to forums?

Maybe we don’t need celebrities for news?

So did the editors at Awful Announcing write that incredibly nuance-free headline intentionally? Because if not, they should probably reread their own article and do a bit of self-reflection.

Yeah holy shit the actual quote:

“But this actually illustrates something larger, that’s true in sports, it’s true in news, it’s true in our politics. Because of the internet, because of social media, because people are getting information from so many different sources. And the majority of those sources no longer adhere to the basic principles that are used to govern newspapers and broadcasters, for the most part.”

“Someone might have an opinion that you disagree with. They might be more or less diligent about context than nuance, but there was always at least an acceptable, minimum bar.”
