MissConstrue<p>Y'all, you know I have thoughts about the current state of American news. I have not been shy about what I think about the sanewashing and the clear and present danger of billionaires being in charge of information dissemination. </p><p>But, whereas I'm a opinionated avatar on the internet, Jeff Jarvis (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@jeffjarvis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>jeffjarvis</span></a></span>) is an actual author, journalist and professor of journalism. He has written: "Why Are Liberals Infuriated with the Media?", and it is a master class in how to write cogent, clear, clean explanatory text. </p><p>You should go read this article, it's genius. Whilst one is clicking about, one should follow him too. </p><p>(As an aside, we need to find a way to get this article in front of every editor. I'd include publisher in that sentence, but I'm beginning to doubt this crop of billionaires can read long form.)</p><p><a href="https://www.cjr.org/analysis/liberals-infuriated-media-cancel-subscription-editorial-endorsement-times-washington-post-jarvis.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cjr.org/analysis/liberals-infu</span><span class="invisible">riated-media-cancel-subscription-editorial-endorsement-times-washington-post-jarvis.php</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/wapo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wapo</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/latimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>latimes</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Gannett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gannett</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Jarvis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jarvis</span></a></p>
