Lol at this utterly misinformed comment. Where to even begin?
The public is now more informed than ever before because of the internet. The old information gatekeepers are now becoming irrelevant. The truth is they NEVER held power to account. They merely gave the illusion of doing so. They were always in the pocket of the establishment.
And that last sentence about democracy being undermined? Just lol at such a stupid statement. I see that cliché endlessly trotted out these days. There isn’t a shred of truth to it. In fact, literally the opposite is true. Democracy is now stronger than ever because those gatekeepers are being exposed as the fake news merchants they’ve always been.
Indie journalism is flourishing. The inevitable death of the entire legacy media is a wonderful thing for anybody who isn’t a corrupt parasitical traitor. All these rags are going away and what a wonderful sight it is to behold.
Yeah, it’s not like the internet had any impact at all.
