The article doesn’t have me triggered, the state of journalism does. It also presents skewed facts without perspective or context. People under 30 statistically get their news only from social media and thus only the headlines or summaries are all that are presented. Rarely do articles today interview a second source or an expert with another perspective, they just regurgitate the press release. The UT like other outlets no longer allow comments unless you are a paid subscriber, further closing the echo chamber.

There are huge flaws in the article, but nobody will hear them. They will just make incorrect assumptions. Case in point, Oceanside and El Cajon are better than Carlsbad based on the limited and short sighted statistical information in the article. Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s just the decline of print media but it feels like articles decline in quality by the day. It’s my fault too, I no longer subscribe to a daily paper. I subscribed to two papers for decades and I got what I paid for, now I don’t pay and I’m disappointed in the quality of the reporting, but I guess that’s because of me and those like me. So perhaps I shouldn’t complain, I got what I paid for. Nothing.
