Both of your source links go to this article ... Are We Living In The Scientific Revolution 2.0 Or DARK AGES 2.0?

Did you intend to link to another one?

Got a link to WND? Both links now go to the Dail Caller Crap, and there’s a pay/subscribe-wall.

“Government is not eloquence, it is force. Like fire a troublesome servant and a fearful master;and as such should never be put into the hands of the incompetent’’.- George Washington.

Your concept of “2.0” overthrow of conventional authority puts me in mind of my favorite hobby horse - Establishment Journalism.
People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down. - Jack Kelly
My critique of journalism is that journalists perfectly well know that they are negative because “If it bleeds, it leads.” This implies that their claim of objectivity is a claim that negativity is objectivity . . . and that claim is a pretty good definition of cynicism.

IMHO if “A” is the opposite of “B”, nobody can be cynical about “A” without being naive about “B” Government exists, per Thomas Paine, only because of the limitations of society. Thus cynicism directed at society is the flip side of the coin whose obverse is naiveté towards government. And it is my thesis that that “coin” is socialism. Accept those steps which are the best I can muster in attempted logic, and “bias in the media” as we know and loathe it is explained.
