Why? I would see the humour as lower value than understanding their line of reasoning. Sight unseen I would hazard you fall into the hands of bias, beyond Elvis on the moon bad.

I went to archive.is and yes.. my line of reasoning is in there with other stuff I hadn't thought about.

It bodes ill for our democracy that those who cannot pay — or choose not to — are left with whatever our broken information ecosystem manages to serve up, a crazy quilt that includes television news of diminishing ambition, social media, aggregation sites, partisan news and talk radio. Yes, a few ambitious nonprofit journalism outlets and quality digital news organizations remain, but they are hanging on by their fingernails.

It's worth reading.

Any idiot with an internet comnection can copy and paste the url.

And for the record i agree with your points about class/availability of information.
