Loved the piece, John. Don’t mean to oversimplify things but it would seem to me that there is an insatiable demand for the Doritos these days and a devil’s advocate might say the corporate media are just feeding the pigs while they are hungry. Seems to me we have a bad cocktail of shorter attention spans, tribal politics and we both know we aren’t getting any smarter as a society and I expect the dumbing down of our society is about to get worse with the new math and history curriculum. Just signed up and looking forward to catching up on the archives
