Hating on the Newseum
Monday, February 11th, 2008Avoid the gilded disaster that is the Newseum. Avoid paying the $20 they charge for admission. I want the Freedom Forum to sell off their monument valley installation and use the proceeds to actually support journalism. Like endowing a newspaper, for instance.
Nice. It’s built and opening soon, and you piss on their pantleg. Newseum has probably been in development for a decade, where were you then?
I’m fine with having a shiny building. Newspapers’ images are pretty tarnished.
Following your logic art museums would be in lofts, car museums in garages, natural history museums in caves, and science museums in labs.
Puh-leeze.
