When we knew journalism was dead
When an article begins with "Kanye West Turns on Jared Kushner in New Interview..." we know we're no longer living in the neighborhood of priorities.

And whoever told you that news story was a priority?

@Ryderbike If a journalist publishes something, it’s theoretically important, or of interest.
@CopperCicada utter nonsense .
All types of stories are published . But when you’re radicalized you see things through a distorted paradigm.

@Ryderbike Somehow and somewhere an editor signed off on the “Kanye turns of Jared Kushner” story. By some metric it was worth limited budget, staffing, and medium bandwidth.
That sounds like it is important and of interest.
My guess— $$$. Eyeballs on content generating advertisement revenue.

@CopperCicada who decides if it’s of interest?

@Ryderbike I suspect Kanye turns of Jared is of interest to a paper or magazine because it generates ad revenue. That’s why they publish anything they publish.
@CopperCicada so let me get this right . Ad revenue is generated because people are interested in the story?
So what’s the problem?

@Ryderbike There is no problem. I never said there was a problem. I just said the story was obviously considered interesting (to somebody).
@CopperCicada the word you used was “priority “
