Oddbean new post about login | logout @edc128e6 You know they'll never learn from that though. They'll blithely go on and blame everyone else when things don't go their way. They think of nothing about their terrible political coverage and platforming some terrible people in their opinion sections.
@7b4cefd3 Yup. It’s crazy that those on the outside and the inside all know the same thing is a problem. Yet, everyone carries on.
@edc128e6 I'm beginning to wonder if chiding media for its mistakes itself is becoming sort of a point/counterpoint business--all apart of the cycle. Instead of taking criticism seriously, the executives are using the criticism to fuel revenues. Same 'ol coverage; be criticized for it by reputable sources like James Fallows and Margaret Sullivan; have attention drawn to the coverage; repeat. Cynical much?
@7b4cefd3 Cynical maybe, but correct? I think so.
