I am always amused by people such as Matt Taibbi, who hold themselves up as some sort of noble crusader for truth. He is, he claims, writing great truth to power that the people of this nation absolutely need to know if this nation is to remain a functioning democracy. He is writing information that we need to have if we are to retain the freedoms codified by our founding fathers a quarter of a century mellinnium ago.
Only we will have to pay him $4.17 per month if we want to read it.
Freedom isn't free, you know. The people who preserve that freedom for us are entitled to money from us in exchange for our freedom. The only people who should remain free, apparently, are those who can afford to pay the fee for such writing.
"But," you say, "then man has to make a living." No doubt he does. Then present his writing as a way for him to make a living and ask me to pay for the product. Don't pose as some noble knight in shining armor and ask me to provide metal polish to keep the armor shiny.
our founding fathers were considerably more than a quarter century ago, I think you have a typo /missing time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would think working knights don't have shiny armor, unless it's all shine and no actual combat.
