but their stuff seems to have become less minimalist over the years, or at least the last time i saw a copy...true or false?
and if true, does this mean that at some point, no matter how brief the news (?) paper may try to be, it is impossible to get the point, or propaganda across, without at least some bit of background that means greater length?
while these ploys to shorten everything to the consciousness length of an ad can be damaging , tabloids and other working class publications have always done their echoing of party lines in short verses, while the longer, more analytic pieces that only a minority read go into greater detail, but usually wind up in the same political place...
maybe there is a way to get substance across without too much detail, or at least not in the first telling...
