Simpson, the Incident, as it is known, is either pretty sensational stuff or yet another of the ingenious tales those of us who mistrust mainstream institutions tell ourselves to help make sense of a scary, sometimes depressing world.

Both are victims of their own undoing. If you want to know why dwindling attention is being paid to traditional news sources, look to the money, power and special interests that control them and the political apparatus.
