I cringe at any effort to further erode confidence in the free press, and even though I think there is a concerted effort to do that here you really do highlight some important and legit issues. I wish there was some nuance so readers weren't consuming the information with the hypothesis in mind that news if bad now, but I think they will benefit regardless from the information provided. If there was any single point that I think is the truest assault on journalism, its the demise of local newspapers. The fact that was one of your first points is telling and appropriate. It's a well thought piece, even if I don't love the prevailing theory being offered.
Congrats to your registry induction! Over many years newspaper's role morphed from a news distribution platform to a flyer/circulars distribution container. Like a big envelope. We've since changed out morning rituals of the paper and a coffee to coffee and a laptop. But at least now we have our daily Wordle.
I enjoyed seeing your photos. The moustache in the '80's was awesome! And thankfully, you don't look like Mark Twain in real life. Good article!
This piece is right on point. 100%.

1976 satire “Network.” Prophetic? Yes, some people have lost their minds.
Can Journalism be revived, resurrected?
Isn’t it hard to squash disinformation, no/yes?
Love the graphics, Tombstone, Newspaper headlines above the fold!!
Great 2 minute clip, “Network”
