Sam’s broadside at Facebook’s “top news line” suggests he hadn’t come to terms with the difference between mass and social media. The news feed he quoted was customised to someone or other; to that user, it is indeed worthwhile news (one can filter one’s feed to exclude undesired news).

Wessel — you’re a gent for posting these kind words in a time of slightly-bummed-out-ness. But, hell’s fkg teeth, whether or not I have a job writing celebrity comment bilge for the DT isn’t exactly stacking up against what you might call proper news from SA. Perhaps, anyway, I can buy you a real-world drink when next you’re in London…
New email as submitted.
