My pinned Twitter post was something like:
Keyser Söze: The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Me: The greatest trick billionaire media barons ever pulled was convincing their readers that their interests were aligned.
It's a shame nothing's changed.

*Am I the only option for Britain?*
