I used to read something and wonder if the author had the facts straight, now I read and often wonder if the author even knew what he was trying to say.
Yeah. An awful lot of the pieces that we reference here for discussion are so poorly written and researched, often with key facts omitted because of stupidity or a desire to present the story with a certain slant.
I’ve seen some pretty heated exchanges on FR over posted “news articles” that were so devoid of relevant information that it was (IMO) impossible to have an informed debate on them
