## What Jamie wrote

[Dave Winer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Winer) has written for decades at this point about blogging, the web, and journalism. He wrote [Sources go direct](http://scripting.com/stories/2009/05/15/sourcesGoDirect.html) in 2009! Here he is hitting on a bigger thing.

> So you get the same story, the reality they believe in, developed over centuries, that is radically different from the reality most other people experience. The story recited daily at CNN, MSNBC, The New Yorker, NYT. The world changes, again and again, and the story they tell is how angry this makes them, and how everyone must snap back.

I got here reading Doc Searls "[What becomes of journalism when everybody can write or cast?](http://blogs.harvard.edu/doc/2021/06/24/journalism-3/)" which adds additional context. I think Winer hit the point more directly.
