Aaron Swartz: I hate the news. http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews The even bigger take away from this is that he wrote this before he died in 2013. In the last ~8 years news had dramatically become worse. I challenge all readers, on every subject verify they are telling the truth. You'll find the overwhelming supermajority of the time the news are wrong. The new thing that Aaron never saw, news outright publishing self-contradictory stories on purpose. After you do this exercise, you find out the news is fraudulent. Why would you read something that is so fraudulant? Then again why would anyone get their news from the court jesters? The Daily show was just the court jester even in Aaron's time.
