He just mentioned that as, “of course, hate speech exceptions”.
Those are all members of the Associated Press. See my tagline . . .The AP was found by SCOTUS to be in violation of the Sherman AntiTrust Act back in 1945. But it was a limited case brought for limited judgement against AP, and the AP was then too big to fail.
Now, however, the mission of the AP to distribute the news efficiently and cheaply is obsolete. The Internet illustrates (exploits) the fact that telegraphy bandwidth is no wise as expensive as it was in 1945. So the AP should be sued into oblivion. Which would at least be a start . . .
“If it bleeds, it leads” journalism is negative, and journalists all know it. The only reason people have to assume journalism is objective is that the AP and its members insist that it is. But you show me someone who thinks that negativity is objectivity, and I’ll show you a cynic.
