At The Roanoke Times, Demetri Telionis examines how the age of communication became the age of miscommunication.

I have two comments:

Telionis falls into the trap of what driftglass calls “both-siderism” in attempting to portray MSNBC as somehow a leftie equivalent of Fox News. There is no leftie Joe Scarborough at Fox; that MSNBC gives Joe Scarborough a highly-paid sinecure ipso facto removes it from being “the liberal network,” even if it does have some mildly liberal commentators in the evening line-up.

The answer to the question at the end is, “No.”

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
