Last night....I sat and completed the 90-odd-minute interview of Elon Musk with Zanny Minton Beddoes, the Editor-in-Chief of The Economist. You can find it on YouTube.
I'll make three observations.
First, I don't 'HATE' the news media or journalists. I'd say if anything....over the past dozen years....I've been very skeptical of the stories laid out....or the narrative told. Since AI came along....I can hit the analyze-button, and check out the facts (if any).
Second, once I've noted that you are slanting the story....intentionally....my trust goes to zero. I might still read your piece....but I'm very unlikely to buy into the story.
Third, I don't really believe that journalists have any special skills or talents. Maybe in the period up to the 1990s.....there were some with talents....but that era has ended.
The interview worth viewing? Oh yeah.
