Idealistic. But not practical.
Sporting events have just one broadcaster. One person who controls what you see. Online, everyone is a broadcaster. That changes the game. Not everyone will agree to such a policy. And you just need one player to disagree to make it impractical.
Case in point: 9/11 attacks were shown on TV repeatedly - because there was more than 1 player who could do the broadcasting.
- gojomo 17y agoI don't think incidents could (or should) be completely hidden, as in the sporting example. But they could be less promoted. We don't all have to magnify the events. Each news site (and voter) can decide where they want to play on the information continuum. Should News.YC be more gotcha-tabloid-if-it-bleeds-it-leads, or less?
