Internet versus dead trees: a discussion

“The question at hand actually was about the rise of the
“commentary” class in America and how it has overshadowed the
“journalist” class, and how that shapes the country. But why answer
that question when we can talk about our favorite topic: The Future!!!

Just like the transparency/torture debate spill along
Republican/Democrat divisions, the Future debate divided along platform
allegiances. In one corner, Tina Brown of the online Daily Beast. And in the other corner, Peggy Noonan, of the dead-tree Wall Street Journal.”
