200 counties in this country have zero local newspapers. Zero. But everybody in those towns has a smartphone, right? So they aren't starving for content; they are starving for context. We let the market kill the local watchdog because it wasn't "profitable" to cover the school board meeting. #xc420

My question is: Is "Media Literacy" even possible when the business model of the internet is "Enrage, Suppress, Divide"?. Are we actually capable of vetting information when the algorithm knows we would rather be angry than be right? #XC420
