Definitely! Ever since families went to a double salary the gossip kitchen tables divindled to be revived by the advent of smart phone ownership and the never ending love of gossip. Yet, now, opinions are free as in beer and no longer curtailed by the majority opinion of your neighbors. Total freedom.

Somebody mentioned the decline of sales for newspapers so I guess the NY Times decided to follow the pack. It's a shame because I think people would rather get straight news in general. But you do have a point that people prefer the news broadcasts heard while they have their heads buried like an ostrich.
