Hmm.. so you've never seen a real professional journalist sensationalize and oversimplify a story?

And you've never seen a blogger fact check a story?

It seems to me the majority of bloggers AND journalists are crap and the exceptions are good.



Huh? I am linking to the blogger who fact checked this story. That was kinda my whole point. The Portfolio link is a blog post, dude.


Wow, my brain totally garbled your post. I was blinded by my own prejudices!


Yet you still got massive upvotes. Well done!


90% of journalism is crap. But then, 90% of everything is crap.

Exactly. Don't turn off your bullshit detector because someone has a more "official" title.
