I MISS SOME THINGS ABOUT 1995, BUT NOT THE MEDIA ENVIRONMENT:
Why doesn't it matter? Because I regret to inform you that it is no longer 1995. I am not a lithe and energetic 22 year old enjoying a rich and varied nightlife. And the mainstream media does not enjoy one tenth of the agenda-setting power it had back in those golden days.
