Rebooting the news
My opinion: At this point it doesn’t matter what the NYT says. Either way they jumped the shark for the last time in this election.
After the election if we still have freedom of speech, we should reboot news around the simple idea of news written by experts. They must know the basic rules of journalism, imho that’s much easier than the know-nothing journalist posing as everyman with a view from nowhere, trying to understand what they’re writing about. They don’t have any basis to judge, we give them far too much power. That system is rooted in a time when publishing was expensive but that hasn’t been true for thirty years. the old system has run its course. This election, either way, is a lesson in how that system, if it ever worked, doesn’t work today. The next news system will be sources going direct to interested readers.
