Ignorance isn't new.
And, in fact, about all of us are ignorant on most subjects of the world...(None of us is an all-contained Internet in-and-of-ourselves)
I think what this author hits upon is the presumptuousneer of people...that just because we live in an Internet world and may keep relatively up-to-date on a whole host of topics...we assume we are somehow well-versed on all or most upon which we comment on.
It's fine that people have and even express opinions...
But they should at least...
...(a) be a bit more humble about what they are trying to export -- tone/context wise...and certainly some of us more than others need all the humility we can muster...
...and (b) come across as making it clear that what's being said belongs in the editorial section...
...vs. trying to come across as purely factual news reporting...
(I guess this is all part of the damage of the MSM...which, for so long, "reported" "news" as if they were in the editorial biz!...and now in an digital age we are stuck with emulators galore!)
Typo: presumptuousness
