Key phrase, here. Filtering and delivering news. Key word. Filtering.

There’s that word ‘filtering’. In other words, deciding what they want us to know/believe. Oh, for the days when the news was just news, before the manipulation of the public during the VietNam war.

Matt Drudge was right. They are putting us in ‘digital ghettos’. I recognized this ages ago when individual news sites stopped hosting news forums and comments sections conducted by their own peeps. They either shut comments off altogether, or switched to mandatory login to Disqus, Twitter,or Facebook. We have to be ‘identified’.....thus narrowing down our options to comment anonymously.

“the news industry is rapidly losing control”
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

The advertisers still control the news media. They still pay the piper LOL!
Whether they tell you what they want you to hear on NBC News or Google News makes no difference.

"unlike traditional newspapers where editors determine the most important stories"

And therein lies the problem: liberal, biased editors controlling the news that people receive.
