35. As a news consumer, I really feel like Globe doesn't want to share news with me. It wants to hoard news, and portion it out.

36. Globe doesn't see its job to give readers news, but to act as gatekeeper between readers and news.

37. The Globe sees itself as the paper of record. I hate to offend anyone's amour propre, but that just ain't so guys.

43. Postscript to the Houpt/Brown twitter essay: It's a fair point that Brown is a big enough figure that he deserves scrutiny & criticism.

44. As mentioned I thought Houpt was right on Brown on Levant. I'm agnostic about criticism of Brown on Lang. We need more facts.

45. So the point isn't, Brown shouldn't be criticized, but that such criticism shouldn't come from place of Legacy Media superiority.
