What is Classified advertising and what has been it's role since the invention of the printing press in funding (especially) local journalism? What effect did Facebook and Google, taking the classified cake but paying zero tax anywhere in the world, have on abilities of newsrooms to find themselves and pay for good journalism? With their control over algorithmic distribution of news, what role did these same companies have in promoting bad actors alongside reputable news, in doing so devaluing the entire fourth estate. And how did this devaluation of traditional media affect the value of those companies, who were then bought out by yet more billionaires for super cheap? Let's ask Citadel CEO Ken Griffith's The Wall Street Journal, or Jeff Bezos's WaPo? Also it's dangerous. Look at what the West does to journalists. I hope Julian Assange is recovering from his stroke, while still illegally detained.
