- How The Media Destroys Trust -- And How We Can Build It Back Up

I think Jim is making a mistake lumping click bait sites like UK Daily News and Buzzfeed with mainstream media built on trust (NYT. WASH POST, ABC. NBC. CBS, LAT). Granted they too are optmizing clicks with more hystical headlines, but the content is about as trustworthy as you're gonna get. May not agree with liberal leanings, but their news is reflective of our world.
- The Most Ethical Column I Will Ever Write

Congrats Joe. Kinda nice to just take a course and be declared "ethical." Too bad the real world isn't that simple. One wonders if, in this age of Internet echo chambers, audiences really want their "journalists" to be ethical? Unfortunately, even ethics has become relative and subjective.

Ed: if you are right (as you often are) the early efforts to advertise in streaming are really an insult to viewers. The same ad delivered over and over in the same program, the off-putting number and length of ad breaks give the impression that the platforms are clueless about the user experience. I think this is part of what Dave is warning about.

It has already begun. I was forced to watch an on-demand version of Navy Seals when an overtime game ruined my usual recording and the ad load was horrendous. There were literally two to three moments of programming bracketed by a ton of ads and promos. If this is what the future holds, deal me out.

I thought Netflix: Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror was exceptionally interesting and worthwhile.
- Did Anyone Watch The Olympics?
by
Cory Treffiletti
(Media Insider on
08/11/2021)
Cory: I might posit that we would all still like to see Olympic competition, but I think NBC is to blame for a terrible viewing experience from screens split with ads larger than the adjacent competition to "highlights" that combined, say three hours of tennis. into five minutes. I appreciate the time difference was a challenge, but I think NBC really screwed up the delivery.
