What I find most depressing today is the short memory of the media. I can't even get away with telling my three year old that we might go to the zoo at 8AM without her reminding me again at 6PM. Yet the media these days, on all sides, has such a short memory that the narrative of any given day can change within the hour. The thirst for content and war for eyeballs to drive revenue has forced any interesting journalists, pontificators, and philosophers from the main and into the fringe. What a time to be alive.

People still watch/read them, which generates significant ad revenue. We the people have the power to change the media overnight; we the people choose not to.
