Public

You know, having had some time to think about it, this could actually be the worst paragraph anyone has ever written.

Rothfeld described the whole point of a newspaper with
her characteristic elegance:
The maximalism and somewhat uncompromising
presumption of a newspaper, with its warren of
sections and columns and byways, is a quiet reproach
to its audience’s most parochial instincts. Its mission is
not to indulge existing tastes but to challenge them—to
create a certain kind of person and, thereby, a certain
kind of public.
Can you believe she wasn't already writing for The New on
Yorker? This is a world historic fumble by semi-sentient
thumb Jeff Bezos.
