When I first moved to Chicago in the summer of 1990, I was excited to have two legendary daily newspapers to comb through. Before the first weekend arrived, I was disabused of my childlike enthusiasm for both of the fabled news organizations. Self-respecting parrots would refuse to open their cloacas over those rags back then, and today they are much, much worse.
I remember those dark days of Conrad. But I wonder if you give AI too much credit. Of course, we won't know until it's happening. News has become so splintered now it's like living in a matrix. Thanks for a good read.

It's the first time I have ever read a media criticism that included a reference to parrot cloacas! Imaginative.
Requiem for the media. Thanks for the reflection. Tragic I think. Perhaps being self-aware is the path to resolution. Time will tell. Keep writing.
