1. Keen says democratized media undermines the truth and takes away from pure talent and experience. It trivializes expertise and makes claims it can not even begin to fill. Because of this, he finds it ironic that the term is even used. It creates less reliable news and has lead to a great deal of misinformation.
2. While Keen sees social media as a way of spreading falsities, Rushkoff sees it as a means to connect to world. Rushkoff believes such person to person sharing is an effective way of spreading news in the fastest way possible. I personally believe the media is capable of both these things. While we do get information at incredibly high speeds, the stories are not always being filtered or corrected. Even so, I would rather be given false facts that I can later research to determine their validity than to be cut off from the rest of the world.
