@prometheus I'm afraid that's where I think the media is in the UK now as well. Not sure what the way out of it is. That and the continued click bait that's around the internet it's a depressing place sometimes. Hard work teaching the kids at school that not everything on the internet and around the world is negative.

@bazbt3 Living just outside of D.C., I can't escape the Post. It does have some good reporting, but there are times when it doesn't go deep enough. Lately, though, it's been better. I mix in Vox, The Guardian, The Atlantic and The Wall Street Journal.

… Incidentally, just ignore the maths in one of my blog posts linked to in my last post, I can't recreate enough interest to correct the flaws.

@GadgetComa Depth, balance, scope, perspectives; exactly! Thanks for reading. :)

@GadgetComa

@bazbt3 If only more people would seek the same kind of balance.

@bazbt3

@GadgetComa It all comes down to one question: do you want an easy life? Sure it's an open-ended query; knowing stuff was once said to give the seeker knowledge, power. Yeah, no.

@bazbt3

@RossA I thought I covered that, at least in part, in the next paragraph. I was quite proud I remembered 'astroturfing' too. ;)

@prometheus

@RossA in the US , news ceased to be a public service or a kind of information-commons and became a for profit business at the same time politics became a billionaires club. Bad news is good business and fuel for forging political followings.
