Problem 1: This Reuters story
in the Chicago Trib about Embridge pipelines. Entirely a US/Canada
story. Entirely reported and edited from Bangalore, India. Meanwhile,
friend Leo Lincourt notes "I
like how it had the unlinked URL and the placeholder for where the
factbox was supposed to go." Hmm, maybe the Trib is outsourcing website
content management.
Problem
2: The L.A. Times has a paywall. It appears similar to the NYT's. I
know of know "LAClean." But, in Firefox, going to "private browsing"
defeats it.
This isn't some small chain, some small newspaper.
This is the L.A. Times, with a paywall even more "fake" than the New York Times.
And,
the MSM wonders why it continues to struggle financially. Web-savvy
readers dodge fake paywalls, to get news stories that are relatively
"thin" because papers still don't "get it" on paywalls and financial
hemorrhaging.
