Dumbing down ...by exciting up?
Ever wonder if the media you are consuming, including some of your fav online discussion groups, are succumbing to the need to sell ads?
Ever compare your favorite "independent" or "underground" media to more traditional non-profit media? Notice any forms of dumbing down in proportion to the ratcheting up of heat and excitement?
I'm on the lookout for better sources of news and deeper, and broader, dialogue... any suggestions?
