I believe you are correct. Now think about this:
THE VALUE OF ANY INFORMATION IS REALIZED ONLY IF DISTRIBUTION CAN BE CONTROLLED.
Once "news" is released, it has no value any more. That is why newspapers, magazines, tv, radio - all forms of human communications - must control distribution if they are to have value and survive. It's all about the networks and connectivity.
Remember what kind of capital was once required to distribute information? Huge towers and transmitters, microwave links, studios, cameras, etc. Giant printing presses and paper mills to make paper. Fleets of trucks to tote the paper to individual addresses. A huge, inefficient postal service to hand-deliver ink-on-paper all over the world.
All gone now - Gone With the Wind.
——————Once “news” is released, it has no value any more.—————
Well, it has no more value to the ruling class.
Once we have information, it becomes valueable to those of us out here in the country class.
Think Van Jones. I still think they’re burned up about that. We beat them in that instance, and the ruling class doesn’t like being beat.

The beauty of computers and miniaturization. But that’s what makes all of the progressives’ schemes for regulating everything under the sun to meet their vision of how things should be so dangerous.
What if they get their way? Then what? How will they treat those who disobey? I don’t expect it to be kind - not when they have eugenics in their history.
