Does it seem that, with each passing week of this year, we’re getting a deeper glimpse into just how much of a joke the media is? Seriously, imagine Glenn Greenwald making these accusations even 20 years ago. The media would have breathlessly harped on it for days and we’d never have found out the truth because the denials by the named companies would be buried on page A16 or played on the 11pm news. There would be no way for them to get their message out to a larger audience because the only outlets would be controlled by media outlets invested in keeping the “scandal” alive to farm the ratings.
