Also, the new movie “Civil War” left me more shaken up than perhaps I realized: largely because of its depictions of journalists as players in America’s future. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of these debates about the future of journalism: mainly because they luxuriate in the problems and never bother with solutions. That needs to end. What the hell do you want from us, anyway?
