...has all but lost.....
0 Hello. Could someone help me interpreting the following sentence (the part that is ambiguous to me is in bold): The US marketplace of ideas has gradually developed into a home-shopping network of 30-second ads and mall-tested phrases, a huckster's paradise that sells stimulated participation to a 01 b 00 public that has all but lost the ability to engage 02 b 00 . 02 br
02 br
00 Does the part in bold mean that public does not have ability to engage, or does that mean that public has gone through so many changes but still hasn't lost its ability to engage? 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks in advance. 0-
