The New York Times Destroys the News with 'One Sentence Stories'

News: it's like borrowed time...

UNFORTUNATE SPOILER: This is definitely not an April Fools’ Day joke.

First, there was the newspaper.

Remember that regaled form of media that would force someone to consume the news in detail before the radio taught us to use sound to feed our imaginations in different ways?

Then TV allowed us to absorb news in digestible segments that came with b-roll, sound effects, “special interest” stories, and the occasional dope honking while a reporter is trying to talk. Now Twitter and Facebook allow us to form opinions on stories we haven’t even read based on the non-factual statements of people who didn’t even write them.
