> its fundamentally down to incentives. Aye. As one of my managers once said, you get what you measure and incent. > reduce the power of a single network Recall, there were only 3 networks, so I don't think that multiplication of voices is necessary to incent truth-telling. Indeed, it incents each voice to offer the most florid headlines, as they are each trying to outshout the others, > free speech laws, Big Brother, etc What happened wasn't any kind of complex change in human rights---what happened was that new technology nuked the supporting business model. Just like the automobile nuked the business model for draft horses. Happens all the time. If doing something doesn't make any money, you eventually have to stop doing it and start doing something else which does. That's why everybody stopped selling news and started selling eyeballs. Creating the conditions for which a marketplace in the truth can exist, is a job for business and legislative geniuses, something I am not.
