and I haven't bought a copy of the NYT since. It was the NYT who jumped all over Wired magazine's misquote of Al Gore on the internet. I'll give credit to Andreessen for accurately pointing out that misquote. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that rich white guys have become enamored with big tax cuts and being able to do as they please such as allow their platforms to be polluted by total lies and misinformation and they see tRump as their vehicle for getting even more be tax cuts and making it even easier to be able to control the media and promote their lies and misinformation and don't care about the damage it'll cause the rest of the country. They view the damage as collateral damage. It's a totally disgusting approach if you ask me
