   It's pretty clear to me that one of the
   central evils of what we now call "social            AD_BLOCKED_WEB
   media" is the advertising supported model--
   this approach has always had problems, even
   back in the good old days of three networks
   bound by the FCC under the "fairness
   doctrine".

      Many people feel nostagic for that era
      compared to today's cacophany, but I
      lived through it and have no illusions        I spent much of my time
      about it: safe and bland presenting a         back then listening to
      single "responsible" voice does not mean      the Pacifica station
      the system is functioning well.               WBAI, which back then
                                                    was completely supported
                                                    by listener donations...
         You've probably heard the
         slogan: "If you don't pay                  I also thought the public
         for the product, you *are*                 TV network PBS was pretty
         the product."                              good-- it hadn't yet been
                                                    dumbed down and completely
         The authors of this book                   neutralized.
         don't seem to have.
