But this makes me recall the line from Alan Moore-
“Yes, there is a conspiracy, indeed there are a great number of conspiracies, all tripping each other up… the main thing that I learned about conspiracy theories is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in the conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy, or the grey aliens, or the twelve-foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control, the truth is far more frightening; no-one is in control, the world is rudderless.”
And I do find it amusing how many other commenters are bothered with Curtis' unwillingness to "dumb down" his style, as that seemed to be one factor he was lamenting in his article. The lack of the spoonful of sugar should not immediately discredit the medicine's need to go down.
And for the article's core point- I still have faith in citizen journalism. It has always existed in one form or another, though it is frustrating that the ones whose soapboxes are most accepted in recent years have difficulties in exhibiting non-partisan voices. I feel that genuinely unbiased media is dependent upon the ability to resist taking sides- especially when all sides are rather dirty to begin with.
