Wow, going through those comments it sure feels like people were more positive back then.

> Feb. 10 - Just snailmailed a copy of Opera to my cousin in Belgium as she doesn't make much use of the Net because of per minute phone charges...(ouch!!) so Opera seemed like it could go a long way to help her. Opera is my main browser. I just use the others on occasion when Opera can't quite muster whatever is being called for..but it's not something that happens all that often...

Been years since I heard the word snailmail!

Nice, thanks for sharing this! Sometimes I forget 50 years doesn't refer to the 50s or 60s anymore :)

Most of these are great options but I don't have the will nor interest in buying some new interfacing device to mimic a radio jockey-esque voice over environment.

Just a simple plug and play will do, I actually just searched hard and finally ordered the Rode NT-USB. thank you.

What are some decently good mics that don't break the bank but do the work?

For the sake of curiosity, what does that link contain?

Most of the times for developing stories, I like getting the full picture after consulting multiple local sources rather than getting my worldview from the vantage point of international correspondents.

Good. Sets precedent for other major powers to document misinformation efforts by 'international media'. I never consult the world news section of big name media publications.

If anything, such controversies make me want to get a copy of said literature and read it at the first possible instance. Can I call it the Streisand effect? Maybe.

I have an unsubstantiated theory that this moral compassing at the institutional level (like the article mentions) has gathered more steam after the internet went into our phones and thus became highly accessible to the general public.

This website is a nostalgia machine. Plus so many links - easy to keep me busy for a few hours.
