"Media Play," April 24 Opinion
I liked Wes Long's column about American journalism. The problem is connected to the general economic reality of the common people.
Things are just getting more and more expensive—why pay journalists, or pay for a newspaper, when the profits from these endeavors began as too meager and end as starvation rations?
Particularly in this moment in our history, independent journalism is emphatically necessary.
The country descends deeper into fascistic obsession, and the bulwark of laws, rules, norms, etc. that prevents dictatorship is bulldozed daily. There is far less time than people realize, and whatever fight is necessary to stave off disaster will only succeed in mitigating destruction, not preventing it.
Anyways—I thought Long's piece was great. Keep up the good work over there, we ought to put more money into Salt Lake City Weekly.

Jesus f--king Christ will someone over there get Alex Springer to stop calling sandwiches "sandos"? Is he f--king 10 years old?
It sounds stupid, like those two minutes, 15 years ago, when f--king everyone thought it was cute to call breakfast "brekkie." It's not even shortening the words, they're all still two f--king syllables. F--king grow the f--k up. F--k!
