Yellow journalism, tabloid journalism, pack reporting, pamphleteering, petitions, Mein Kampf, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, The Two Babylons, etc. Some print has even started wars, e.g., the Spanish-American war.

And the theses about information abundance and superabundance are inherently muddled without some unambiguous and step-change way of distinguishing one state from the other.

Anyhow, interesting, but a lot of pontification.

Happy whatever counts for Thanksgiving there!
