But them dolts and their opinions are in a minority. I think... Well, not really sure about that either. Anyways, the rest of us can sip from better quality new sources. I pledge my allegiance to the NYT, Washington Post, Guardian, BBC, Financial Times, PBS News Hour, and a few other less demented media outlets. I think our mass media ain't yet completely broken, but sure could use a tune-up on the internet side of things. Already extremist crap is being voluntarily deleted by Google, Twitter, Facebook, and that's at least some janitorial control of human waste. But those are token fixes by them internet giants, and I'm not convinced. I want federal level regulation of the internet, just like the FCC has oversight over print, radio, and TV. The internet is relatively new technology and the law just hasn't caught up with it. Yet. Without proper oversight, disinformation is becoming mainstream and public IQ continues to plummet. I'm all for more law and order on the internet side of things. Them's my opinions, to be updated as I figure this stuff out.
