It seems you believe the Facebook spin. Congratulations! You're on of two people believing anything Clegg has said in the last decade or so, and the other one is Zuckerberg. FWIW, the problem with this idea, except from being an ad hominem of sorts in that it attacks the message via the messenger, is that the individual journalist doesn't actually hold the opinions that we ascribe to "the media". Some young writer at the New York Times isn't upset because Facebook robbed them of the position of power they once had and cut their income by 70% because they never had that power. And since they are the Times, they aren't exactly unhappy with their career, either. Every time there is an article about the privacy implications of ad tracking, something things it's a great indictment to point out how many trackers the article page loads. Yet that only proofs how independent journalists are. In that industry, getting some ad customer to boycott your publisher is almost as good as a Pulitzer, and if it means nobody gets a raise... well, at least you got the story.
