"because there is this great impatience for reading anything you disagree with." Interesting capsule perspective on what drives information communication.

I lean more towards many people's preference for reading what confirms their thoughts and fears has gotten into a feed back loop with "social media" and "click bait" driven communications systems. This has been decreasing demand for reliable information. In parallel there have long been present issues of limited attention span, of what information is deemed of importance and of the forces of special interests.

Also, actually knowing opposite viewpoints can turn screaming matches into conversations, or shut them down, both good outcomes.

↳ Song: "PART 2—INTERVIEW WITH Tricia Romano"
Thx for the long and insightful interview, Brian. We miss the Village Voice. On a lesser (?) level, Paul Lukas had a sports uniform column, Uni Watch. He of Inconspicuous Consumption. And thx for mention of The City and Hell Gate online newspapers (I just contributed to the latter). we need more RESPONSIBLE journalism. (VV once printed part of my letter to them, when I criticized nypd for driving a cop car into a park, right by a basketball game going on. IF ONLY that was the worst of nypd’s offenses to society.)

Also, Tricia Romano was interviewed on wnyc and it too was vg. I found this but my memory was that it was longer than 8+ mins-

I enjoy looking at R Christgau's album reviews from back then. So much more interesting than modern-day revised reviews of old albums. Blondie always got good reviews. So, too, the Ramones. Christgau hated Black Sabbath, tho, as did the NY FM radio stations, which wouldn't even play them. That always annoyed me.
