@enkiv2 imagine actually reading wapo
@mallaidh I do sometimes. It's not GREAT -- articles are too short -- but it's basically a middling-quality standard publication, like the guardian or the NYT.
@enkiv2 i guess it's more, wapo reading being the only personal identifier that someone has, like there's no other hobby to be had other than reading news of middling quality
@mallaidh Yeah, that would be really bizzare. To be fair, I think/hope only teenagers identify as only one thing?
@enkiv2 i wouldn't necessarily think so, at least it'll probably be something a bit more interesting. i guess my news media consumption is mostly college radio and rolling my eyes at the local newspaper, plus some articles on http://text.npr.org
