AOL

bought TW & lt paid dearly. On some HBO movie credits it says A

what can be done

it is sad but no matter the claims the gatekeeper is more powerfull than anyone else.
the political people do not respond, the news media follow in step. they control the issues and the sham that frames them. with this format no one listens and the thoughts are lost.
where is the open forum?

[pardon moi]

conflict of interest

funny that cnet posts this about reddit without disclosing that cnet and wired.co are head-to-head rivals, since reddit is now managed out of the wired operation.
not so encouraging, as far as ethics and journalism at cnet goes.
