Excellent take, Ken. Suicide, indeed—entirely self-inflicted. Those who dared suggest that a messiah-complex bias was pushing legacy media off a cliff were met with smug condescension from narcissistic bubble-dwellers and vicious attacks from don’t-rock-the-boat hacks who climbed the ranks through sheer attrition. I’d hoped the rise of mavericks and the collapse of legacy cliques would wake people up, but a quick scroll through social media shows that many I once respected would rather wallow in disdain for the very audience they were meant to serve.
"Cigarettes come in packs, just like legacy journalists." Wonderful turn of phrase.
Hey Ken! Enjoy your content. I think on your sign-off you may be meaning to say "I" appreciate your support and not "A" support....
Fixed it. Thank you, Joe

It's a sad state of affairs, Kent. It's true when they say, "pride comes before the fall".
