gist of it is that in The Old Days, journalists/photographers and celebrities/politicians had a stable, symbiotic relationship
-
-
-
the former would trade exposure to a broad audience for access and exclusives from the latter. social media broke this down
-
newsworthy individuals don't need the audience provided by publications anymore. they have their own audiences
-
they can publish what they want, framed how they want, on their own channels, knowing the media *has* to report on it anyway
-
this is what's really behind the press freaking out about trump ditching the pool, just tweeting whatever shit he feels like
-
and what's behind the clinton team working with pliable pundits on backchannels to serve as glorified public relations staff
-
the exposure the media used to offer to newsworthy figures, their stock in trade, just isn't as valuable anymore
-
so they get easier to control, or to cast aside
- End of conversation

the only thing to gather from this is that NYTimes is a failing newspaper as per trump's tweets
