agreeing with the dingo....
People will still flock to the same names and brands they got their news from to begin with. The same organisations that already are questionable.
The only difference is, now they'll suffer the minor inconvenience of having to consume it via a web browser instead of directly through their feed. There might be some minor benefit of not having everything appear so one sided, but the MSM often does that on it's own anyway.
Point is, Gov wanted to tussle with Google and Facebook (y'all remember Google slapping that little blurb before your results a few weeks back?) and tell them the free lunch was over. Ultimately, Facebook said piss off and the truth is, they don't need the MSM. They control what people talk about.
It's good less power to Zuck, it's good the free lunch is over. I hate Zuck and as said, detest Facebook. However, hate him as I may, Zuck dropped a pearl of wisdom - the MSM isn't worth paying shit for.
