Maybe brokenness is not critique; it's Facebook's chosen aesthetic. As in Facebook moves fast and breaks things, including nations, journalism, our spirits, the idea of truth.

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

An increasingly small pool of actual reporters are feeding an increasingly large and mostly parasitic mass of commentators, opinion-havers and people who reshape and selectively curate information they've gotten secondhand. It's not a very healthy model for knowledge.

@Rick_Devens @kolbiejpeterson I'm still in shock! Thanks @Rick_Devens!! I'm going to keep this video in my back pocket like a hard-won idol to be strategically played when I'm really feeling up against it!

The future of media is 10,000 personalities branding themselves as critics of 'the media' and 'the narratives' for every 1 reporter who's trying to do necessary journalism for barely a fraction of their income, whose name you don't remember because they didn't make it about them.
