It’s really disturbing to read an article in the paper on a topic that I know anything about. Over and over it happens, and every time I am taken aback by the lack knowledge and context shown by the writers.
Which always leads me to wonder about the majority of topics, of which I am mostly ignorant, and what stupidity is being implanted in my head.
But should we be surprised? I know when I went to college, the students majoring in “mass communications” were not exactly the cream of the crop.
And yet, there have been some great reporters. And freedom depends on a free and prosperous press.
We should all be worried that the thousands of independent papers that used to grace our land have been bought up by just a few conglomerates. True for Canada too?
Oh well, as is true with most things, reader beware!
