Acerbic There I Said It
Alessandra Stanley. I took her piece on media twitterers as a lament for the decline of staid and monolithic old-guard newstalkers and the rise of a socially plateau’d and much more “available” media class. I still think that’s how it ended up. But now I see her as a proponent of change and a backer of portraying real-life grit in media. But not just. She has a nuanced, razor-sharp, and specific theory of how things should be. She is extremely wickedly smart. I think I have a new favorite media critic (SFJ fucking grates on me sometimes in the twitterverse, but godammit he is undeniable). This little post isn’t as well-written as I’d like, but meh.
