I don't aim to rate billionaires, I wish to point out the stupidity of allowing the internet at large to vote on the $value of any other random individual in the world.

There are huge problems with our media but a large part of those stem from the proprietors, whether huge corporations in the US or billionaire owned such as Fox. It's rarely down to individual journalists

Sure I could add comments, the ability to submit links with references etc but we all know how it would turn out. A complete shitshow of spam, libellous comments and junk. Much like I expect a crowd based site voting on fellow humans who happen to work for media companies.
