Practically no one bases choices off newspaper endorsements, so we don’t have to pretend they matter. Newspaper owners and their editors want us to care, because they want to feel relevant, important, and venerated. The reason this is big news is that the media love to talk about themselves.

But this is a good reminder that corporate media don’t work for us, they work for oligarchs and advertisers.
