The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Forgive me if this doesn't bother me at all. The fourth estate has been monetizing the news forever, and they pretend that it is our civic duty to provide information and sound bites and titillating video to them -- gratis -- so that they can continue to do their oh-so-noble jobs of taking dictation from the Democrat party and furiously undermining American culture.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams denounced for using Gilroy shooting to push app

“If you were a witness to the #GilroyGarlicFestivalshooting please sign on to Interface by WhenHub (free app) and you can set your price to take calls. Use keyword Gilroy,” Adams tweeted.

The app, Interface, allows people to connect to experts through video chat, text or calls. Experts can charge money for their time, and WhenHub takes a 20% cut of the payments. Adams immediately drew criticism for seeking to profit from the tragedy.

I think it is a brilliant move to wrest control of the raw data that is the lifeblood of the ghouls of the media. That they claim some moral high ground here is a joke. These are the people who would love to have gun camera video of the next mass murder!

If anyone has newsworthy information, by all means, sell it to the highest bidder. These people turn around and sell it right back to you, so you might as well make some money
