I switch over to Fox while awaiting the verdict, and already they are complaining about "so much unconstitutional thumb on the scale by the judge." They are institutional insurrectionists.

@jeffjarvis talking about podcasting: "It was never meant to be a mass medium, it shouldn't have been a mass medium." #TWiG ep. 770

Jeff, couldn't the same thing have been said about books? Then that damned GUTENBERG came along and ruined it by bringing them to the masses?

No, no, no! Use the one last shred of self-respect you have, Senator, and stop. Leave the Senate. Stop embarrassing yourself, your children, and our state. Do not dare lose the Senate for us.

The Evening Standard turns off its presses and London becomes, like New York, an odd sort of news desert with much national and next to no local media:

There's a metaphor for the Alitos and Thomases somewhere in here:
"Over time, the male can physically fuse with the female, connecting to her skin and bloodstream. Eventually, he loses his eyes and all internal organs except for his testes."

Thank you, @RepRaskin. Now if only the AG could grow a spine.

No, society has not lots its mornings; one sector of it has. To condemn us all to the same damnation is as bad a framing as polarization: each normalizes the extremists.

A journalist almost takes responsibility for the misinformed public: "Many commentators...blame the media for the public’s economic illiteracy." But then she turns the blame on us: "If the media has a bad-news bias, that’s because our audiences have a bad-news bias, too." Journalists are incapable of meaningful self-reflection, incapable of taking responsibility.
