Opinion: Will Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon be missed? Baseless opinion is the real fake news. The only news here is that these news channels have almost no news, just blather. That’s why the big names are so easily ditched.
They should be called baseless opinion channels. It’s ironic how aware of this the Fox grandees are. Sean Hannity texted, “News depart that breaks no news ever.” Is it ironic that I write this in an opinion slot? Is Mrs. Maisel Jewish?
What about our full-time “news channels” from CBC and CTV? They’re weighed down with “panels” who are expected to opine on every topic that arises. During COVID, they jabbered about vaccine mandates. It’s way cheaper than actual reporting. I yearn for a panelist who says, I don’t know anything about that, I’ll sit this out. Would they get invited back? That’d be the test.
The legal context for plagiarism, beyond creative pilfering, or morally abhorrent theft, arose along with capitalism and the printing press. As long as humans were immersed in that era, it seemed like a state of nature. Now that it’s in the process of being superceded or fundamentally transformed, it starts feeling like what’s been called a 400-year Gutenberg parenthesis.
Intellectual property was a form of private property, emerging with possessive individualism during capitalism’s earlier incarnations. The first real copyright law, the Statute of Anne, came into force in 1710.
