Show Notes
Tom and I go toe to toe on how the mainstream media is circling the drain, and how the Wire Season 5 was prophetic in predicting this collapse. Siebert deconstructs the Big Lie in Wire S05, his own underestimation of The Wire, and what the Wire did so well and not so well. If the truth is a moving target, is current journalism up to the task of setting its sights on it? Is Craigslist guilty of collapsing conventional newspaper revenue?
