I'm frankly amazed that RWW is trying to present this 'neutrally' by asking whether people see an issue with AJE trying to break into the [bigoted] US market.
I get that they rely on user engagement and comments and so on, but really, encouraging controversy about a respected journalism outlet's attempts -which even they admit has shown its stripes with its Egypt coverage- to get carried in the US? A bit disappointing.
The linked controversy-generation article just rings so hollow: "Wow, this news network is BUYING ad space! Trying to BUY its way into eyeballs!"
...
Meanwhile, what, Fox/MSNBC/CNN/etc are completely non-profit? And that's without even getting into comparisons of content quality.
- rwwmike 16y agoI wrote the article. I wasn't thinking at all about "user engagement." I was thinking "Look, there's another article on this same thing, and that one takes issue with this method." And then I thought, "I don't see any issue at all."
