It's a good read. I think there have always been tons of hacks doing terrible "amateur" work, but today's electronic media gives them the tools for easier production and wider distribution.

Even this far into the internet era, I don't think any of us are too sure whether that media inspires us more towards renaissance or an even deeper ocean of garbage the average reader/viewer/listener has to wade through to find something good.
