Not just political. Half the articles I read are spun like pr pieces lately, at least when it comes to organizations and people (even dead people)

Random one I read last night

> The realization that Fitzgerald had improved as a novelist to point that Gatsby was a masterwork was immediately evident to certain members of the literary world.

Editors aren’t even trying to appear objective any more. It’s like the news. I think this is becoming the commonplace on Wikipedia and I hate it

The quality of the topic directly correlates with the quality of editors it attracts.

So of course The Great Gatsby is going to have a terrible article. Because it's a miserable book

If you care so much about The Great Gatsby, then you should invest your time improving the article.

The implication, I suppose, being that I’m a low quality person? Charming
