Remember when journalists bothered to have passing familiarity with their subject matter? Pepperidge Farms remembers. So does the crew at World Class Bullshitters, who came upon this dumpster fire of an article that wouldn't get a passing grade in a high school writing class.
This is, as one should expect from a mainstream culture rag, a shillfest written by someone who has no concept of what writing is- nevermind journalism or ethics, writing. Nevermind familiarity with the material you're writing about. How about familiarity with basic writing skills, since you're trying to pay bills by doing that? If you can't manage that, then you should not be let near any professional writing environment, because you are incompetent and cannot do what is required of you.
Burn it all to ash. There's no saving this shitshow that is "journalism". Just burn it all to ash and be done with it.
Bradford,
ReplyDeleteIt's very bizarre that journalists and other writing professional take great pride in not only being ignorant but revel in writing very badly.
Why? Is it because truth beauty and goodness have absolutely no place in their lives and succumb to the cult of ugliness,lies and badness?
