Yes, Isegoria apparently reads Adams so we don’t have to, and brings us the good bits.

I think it’s a place to reverse presumption of innocence. The journalists should have to prove they’re not a shill, or be assumed to be shilling.

Because that’s his life story right there, decades of intentional misquoting and manipulation by the actual established media, and not some cheesy website like BuzzFeed.

I also agree with this Slashdot commenter who said… it may not be such a far fetched idea:

Look at what happened recently with Gruber and the Obamacare fiasco. The MIT professor Gruber was being paid (and paid handsomely) by the HHS… He wrote Op Eds in newspapers which were then picked up by the Obamacare supporters as independent confirmation that it was a good thing. Here was an independent MIT professor saying this was good. No where did anything cite that he was a major player in forming it nor did they say he was being paid by the administration. It was a full blown circle jerk to fool the people.

Bring it full circle back to this article –> An article comes out against Uber and slamming the company. Well a little money and research into that “independent journalist” might just find that they’re getting paid by X lobby, or Y company. Maybe their best friend is in charge of the Cabbie Union (I would imagine there is such a thing).

Check in to be sure the journalist is legit and not some shill like Gruber? Yeah… Might be time we start doing that before we all get fooled again.

Not only is it time to do that, it should be standard public relations procedure in every company.
