[IMC-NYC-Editorial] graeber statement?

[John Tarleton]

Hi,

I just got a call from David. He wanted the post to
come down. He originally intended the post to be read
by a small group of friends on a list serve. He now
knows that wasn't very bright. I agree with Chris that
this does raise some interesting philosophical
questions about our function as a news gathering
service.
