People create 1.2 blogs per day. So, in the age of misinformation we got more Chiefs; less Indians.
I'm totally old. I like the "select few." I like the Fourth Estate. I like people working hard to get to the upper echelon of any profession. Can you imagine NFL leagues in every state with 86 teams in each state. I am pretty sure I could make one of those teams. It would lose the thrill, be no fun. I wouldn't watch football anymore.
I like that I trust the alternative weeklies (which I work for) with researching and writing distinguished stories that are in-depth and useful. I look over the internet and most the content is waste. We want to cut back on waste everywhere yet we are overwhelmed with the equivalent of sitting next to the nonsensical talker on the bus. You can move around but then find that most people on the bus want to talk your ear off and nothing they say has any value to you.
"You know I heard they say if you fall asleep with your head leaning to the left, you'll be less likely to get cancer."
"If you beep your horn, you could be attacked by a rare bird that has migrated to the States"
"My mom made me play the piano and now I hate my father"
None of these have made any sense, don't hold a lick of value, and basically waste my time.
I worry what happens when there is no structured traditional media. I'd be all for that bailout. I think news and education are two cornerstones we can't afford to lose.
Thank goodness for that bailout bill.... money for the Philapino Veterans and that subway from Vegas to L.A. Should make a huge difference in the long run.
How about we kick some more coin to traditional and new media instead. Of course, I'm partial.
