Journalists have an incredible amount of power in society, more than they ever have had before. Like all other entities in a free society, their power must be checked by another force. They are not beyond reproach.
If Elon wants to stand up to journalism he feels is biased or inaccurate, let him do so. I applaud him for it. Let the people decide who is right and who is wrong.

- ardent_uno 8y agoI agree that his proposed crowd sourced-news credibility system is a terrible idea, but I think he's getting flack because he's daring to stand up to the media establishment. Of course they are circling the wagons, but I stand by my original statement that they are not beyond reproach.
