How about the bit from the former NYT reporter who left after 12 years and said that the editors there *told* them what stories to write, asked them to find people to say particular things, and how out of keeping this was with his previous experience as a reporter?
I don't like block-quoting from things I can just link to, but if I have to put up with this sort of ignorant, self-indulgent nonsense I might have to revise my habits.
OK, but was this reportage or analysis? The item about Reddit was in category #2 as far as I could tell. Does it need a mighty beacon or different color "ink" to stand out by category?
You seem to assume that people can assimilate the implications of simple fact if the press reports: A said this then B responded with that. If that's all that's needed, fire the press and buy digital recorders.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
