| 1640055458462326784 | @dankennedy_nu @mysteriousrook @Jeff_Jacoby The bigger problem is that any notion if journalism blind to what we now know about how our brains process info cannot really be considered a profession. | 0 |

| 1640607341895622656 | @dankennedy_nu It turns out that the reason the Puritans warned against gambling in Massachusetts,... was because of the insipid, annoying TV commercials every five minutes. https://t.co/3WcIqoTPiD | 7 |

| 1639998347141435392 | @dankennedy_nu @Jeff_Jacoby Baron definitely knows his stuff. I once read the line “people can have opinions and still be fair” (wish I remember where); not recognizing this seems to be the problem. Downie’s “not voting” schtick undermines the seriousness of the profession. | 3 |
