I agree too. It’s the lack of critical thinking ability, and poor writing skills that confound me. How did some of these people get jobs?
Did you know journalists don’t even need a masters degree?
In fact, Poway, the link you added to this thread – at the bottom of the article are two statements by people interviewed by the journalist that appear to agree, yet they are presented as opposing statements. I started to post a question when I read it the other day, but it was too difficult to start probing more deeply when the actual report was so confusing!
I just want data, some analysis, hard questions, and then clear expression of it all. Why is that so hard?
I partly think it’s because as a society we don’t expect accountability, and that just seems to permeate everything, right down to the reporting of the daily news.
