I think there are a few blind spots, or weak areas in her arguments, but in general I’m in sympathy with this piece. Surely more now than I would have been a year or two ago, due to the steady decline in the quality of journalism.

The internet makes this far easier than in olden times, and makes, or should make, most of journalism obsolete.
