Unless you're rich and/or a professional*. Which is why they're so easily tarred as fake news by sectors of the population sick of reading how some asshole in the Hamptons is eating bespoke yogurt at 5:30 am before his gluten-free enema, coached workout, and limo to Wall Street where he'll fuck everyone else in the world as hard as he can...and be rewarded for it.
Here’s the deal:
1. Newspapers Won’t Save Us, even though they're superior to any other form (for the most part), and because you can't explain complex issues in anything but extended prose. I know: no one reads: another reason we're going fascist.
2. A Million Extinctions Eclipsed by One Royal Grandbaby, courtesy of video news, though the print reports on this nightmare, which is only one of a many, were quickly buried. No one gives a fuck: you don't see ads with the awful truth.
Ultimately, this persists because it's what we want or at least tolerate. Too venal and stupid to live: that’s us! As we will soon prove.
