confession - I clicked on his blog link just to spite HG.
You know what I was just wondering? I was thinking maybe all the past lawsuits against FR requiring the multitudes of known news websites to be excerpted wasn’t some grand conspiracy to eventual drive traffic to blog sites. Here’s my thinking:
We get so used to excerpting when we post, and/or clicking on excerpted links (without even reading anymore if it was from a blog or an MSM source) that we do it automatically. The lawsuits were designed to illicit this almost Pavlovian response, because ultimately the same group of people (”they” or “them”) who own the MSM own the blog sites. Win-win for “them”.
Or maybe I’ve been reading too many conspiracy theories lately. Thoughts?
