The article makes some valid points, but it also reads like a lamentation that techie elites have replaced journalist elites as the leaders of the sheeple. Amazon acquiring the Washington ComPost for pocket change simply drove this new reality home.
Well they have a point - traditional journalists are having to compete with social media, the 24/7 news cycle, the fact that new technology is often breaking stories before they can, etc. They’ve lost control of the “news”. Now the leftist IT gods and thier elite leftist masters are trying to figure out how to get control of THAT in order to institute the one-world one-truth Ministry of Propaganda.
