I increasingly think that there needs to be a Wikipedia-like record of all history as it takes place. Journalists are not historians but pretend to be. What we need is objectivity not the various types of pandering common in the 4th estate.

i don't think objectivity is possible. i would rather journalists drop the artifice completely and simply acknowledge their specific biases, whatever they may be, at the top of their reporting.

There is adverse selection in who stays in tech journalism - the people who really understand what is happening and who are inclined to think positively about people building things will eventually leave journalism to do something more productive.

Disagree here. Good journalists aren’t covering beats because of interest; A truly good journalist loves the hunt and won’t be tempted to leave to build something, just as truly good investors aren’t tempted to leave and build something.

You could extend that diagnosis to journalistic writing about almost any topic. If your attraction to journalism stems from wanting to be a “change agent”, and then you make almost no money, class envy seems like a logical result.

https://medium.com/s/futurehuman/survival-of-the-richest-9ef6cddd0cc1 … I came across this article recently. I don't like how pessimistic US has become recently. When talking about Amazon they don't talk about AWS. When talking about Elon they don't talk about Tesla instead talk about the roadster he sent to the space.
