The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.

He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.

Edit: typo

I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.

Looks like a login wall. While I get the “joke” or irony, Journalism has never been free. Servers, journalists, investigations, and apps still cost money. So did printing and delivery. There are countless sources of information online so you do not have to join The Times but for some the journalistic value is worth the price.

Wikipedia offers knowledge to the world for free and are maintained through donation (including myself) and philanthropy. It has its issues but provides free information.

I think we can a enjoy a variety of options. Paid journalism, ad based news, and “free” community supported. There likely are other models we can adopt.

Other free sources I use. Roca News app Gabe Fleisher’s Wake up to Politics Knowledge at Wharton

I do agree that more competition with enough subscribers is better. I wish more regional “papers” had been able to convert. I live in a large city with a terrible paper and would gladly pay for better local news and Journalism.

The trouble is it’s hard to subscribe to every paper. I like that you at least get a handful of free times articles.

Medium attempts to provide quality work paid directly to the writers and journalists but it’s hard for them to do big projects.

Several universities and business schools provide op-ed type pieces.

Feels like it’s off to a solid start. Change can be good sometimes. I’m using wef wef and feeling right at home! I’m also watching all the apps.

Ultimately, it’s the users and mods they make the community … not a company. I’m also really rooting for them entire fediverse to conceptually take off!!

Eek. Been getting server errors. Sorry for duplicate posts. Hopefully this is because of all of newbies. 😀
