Renn's article makes the FT article sound like another rant about kids these days.

Paywalled, so I can't tell who this decline actually troubles, or if the decline is real or constructed. I mean, we as a society consider all media to have a bias, so I want to see where the bias in this article lies.

I wish sites would at least give a summary of what they're paywalling. With nothing but the title, I have no idea what they're talking about or whether or not it is something I'd even want to think about paying for. It seems self-defeating.
