There literally was that, and it literally was labeled “fake news.” You think Franklin was the only person writing anonymously at the time?
-
The ratio was just not comparable. If you feel that the state of media literacy, and current use of anonymity is just fine, then we should likely end the debate. I look around, and I feel otherwise. Then I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I’m very comfortable with anonymity, and I am not concerned at all to say arguments should be evaluated based on merit not based on the author. I’m sure there are paid shills, but one should be careful that they don’t consider everyone they disagree with a shill.

It would be just as easy to be wrong the other way. I see great reason for honest, earnest people to be anonymous on Twitter, on the Internet, and anywhere else. Arguments based on their merit.

In all seriousness, read the Isaacson biography on Franklin. Honestly it’s no different than today.
