> Why the NYTimes ran it is beyond m… oh right money. It seems almost every article is just another form of advertisement. Someone pays in some way and then the article has an agenda with implied call to action, or what I call, "call to thought". I think it makes sense because we've been in with the Internet and Web 2.0 for a long time now and we don't need centralized curated content anymore, so these editorials have to now make money from selling their influence and promotional powers more so than just information.
