The incompetence goes across the board. I've read many non-political stories where I actually couldn't tell what happened, because the writer couldn't write a lead and hadn't a clue about the five dubya's. They seem incapable of basic research, and so live off what they're spoon fed in press releases and conferences. I doubt 10% of the MSM reporters on the Swiftie story have even read the book.

I don't buy shoddy goods and don't buy shoddy reporting.

The Washington Compost is notorious for this sort of rambling, poorly structured and confusing writing. Editorial control of the most basic sort is sadly lacking as anyone who has tried to make head or tale out of their reductive reporting can attest. In nation politics and coverage of such topics as the Pentagon they are wedded to a few story lines with easily identifiable villains and heroes and little hard data reported.For people who pride themselves on being 'nuanced and sophisticated' their reporting is opposite of either being cartoonish and simplistic and uninformative in the bargain.
