FWIW my personal opinion is that almost every angry anti-{journalism, media} take is boring and the people yelling the loudest have their own axes to grind and authority to capture. But ignoring the relentless evolutionary logic of it all is pretty foolish.

I mostly think that's too short a time frame, just the most punctuated failures for our generation. (Although the media-tech feud is a little different in that it's partially fueled by some animosity generated by the former recognizing the latter wins in a Hastings Limit world.)
