Access to news is one half of the access sphere. the other is access to information by the media. it's a lot easier to report "lets wait for the facts" when you have no choice. but when we instead have a heap of conflicting facts they can report what gets the most clicks.

and look at the # of celebrities, it's grown 100 fold in the last 20 years. a public who previously only cared about what happens to backstreet boys and britney spears now cares about what happens to just about anyone with 500k instagram followers or more. so where before they couldn't fill a full day they now have pick of the litter on "guess what ____ said about ____" type stories.

Yep, access to a lot of information has its down sides just as much as restricting access does. No free lunches.

I find it hilarious that Cam criticizes the news media for reporting the news to a voluntarily consuming audience in a way that promotes their rational self interest. They're literally a perfect example of how the "free market" isn't capable of solving every problem.

Updates in the last day or two:

The Washington Compost has come out against freedom of speech.

Quote

My
@WashingtonPost
piece on why the very broadness of the First Amendment suggests we should have a hate speech law. And if we did, why the President might be in violation of it.

New York Times published an article that claims Jack Posobiec is a liar for sourcing *checks notes* The New York Times.. and falsely claims they didn't publish what everyone can see.
CNN's Oliver Darcy made several tweets to the same effect alleging he fabricated his claim

CNN commentator Ana Navarro called married gay man Dave Rubin homophobic. (Also racist, for good measure)

CNN Published an article bashing Trump for not thanking Pelosi for pushing forward impeachment proceedings.

After attacking and smearing Tulsi Gabbard and other veterans, CNN reverses course and claims its shameful to attack "patriots" because Trump criticized Vindman.

WaPo columnist and CNN analyst Max Bootlicker, who infamously wrote the article claiming a dead terrorist wasn't a coward because he blew himself up with multiple children, to rebuke Trump, was caught lying about why that portion was removed.
