I really hope this doesn’t come off offensive, but every time I read journalists describe the amazing levels of stress they deal with on social media I can’t help but roll my eyes. Especially in a piece like this, one that is apparently very personal to the author - why bother muddying the information with personal anecdotes everywhere? Why not let the events speak for themselves? Maybe I’m jaded, but the whole thing comes off as some performative, manufactured way to get clicks. Curious how war correspondents feel about such articles.
- reactspa 6y agoI lived through multiple Congress governments. Elites (politicians, judges, friendly journalists, friendly businesspeople) may have experienced freedom and democracy. The rest of the country was very oppressed. I was in the latter group. Memory is short, I suppose.
- kaesar14 6y agoAgreed, when the author of the article doesn’t have much of anything interesting to say, like here. I would’ve liked to get the personal feelings of someone like Ernie Pyle, not your run of the mill 35-or-under tech blogger.
