THE point made here last summer [1] is being proven correct again, for earlier this week we saw at least half a dozen examples [2-7] of media obsessing over something said by Linus Torvalds while not even mentioning the actual, real news (the release of Linux 5.11-rc2).

"Society won't be able to separate the wheat from the chaff."If this sort of click-bait drama is what nowadays qualifies as "journalism" (never mind endless puff pieces or ads disguised as 'reports'), then we're in deep, deep trouble. Society won't be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. ⬆
