by Lawrence Lessig can be found here ... The Keen Reader. Lessig also reviews the book on his blog:

But what is puzzling about this book is that it purports to be a book attacking the sloppiness, error and ignorance of the Internet, yet it itself is shot through with sloppiness, error and ignorance. It tells us that without institutions, and standards, to signal what we can trust (like the institution (Doubleday) that decided to print his book), we won't know what's true and what's false. But the book itself is riddled with falsity -- from simple errors of fact, to gross misreadings of arguments, to the most basic errors of economics.

There seems to be a recognized profession of experts keening over the fate of mankind, to which they will offer the only protection that works.  However, more and more, I am finding serious, professional journalists turning to the internet for self publication solely because of the refusal of other public information sources to spend the time to get the story right.

No one exemplifies this more than Norman Oder and his ongoing reportage of the Atlantic Yards Project in Brooklyn and the failures of major media to report on it with any degree of accuracy.  What began as a lengthy unmasking of the intentional bias (worst case) or sloppy writing (possibly just as bad) at the NY Times has become the Atlantic Yard Report and Oder has been the single most reliable source of information at this major ($4 Billion) intersection of community development, eminent domain law, real estate and the ever messy world of Brooklyn Politics. Time after time, Oder gets the story right when the Times, the NY Post, The Brooklyn Eagle, etc. all fail.

I would love to Oder on The Charlie Rose Show because I trust his reporting.
