@manton I think the medium is relevant. Whilst I appreciate how attractive the word "fact" is for debating when presented online, it's important to remember the distinct difference of analogue news to the digital counterpart: that paper publication does not care about your browser, preferences, settings, cache, cookies, location, or roaming habits... mostly because it can't, obviously.

There is great strength in forcing people to reckon with the undeniable and immovable nature of information presented in analogue form. Sure, the dynamic nature of online news is much better for certain people but I think as with many aspects of the web we have over-corrected in favour of those people and thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
