Lazy Journalism.

[talisman]

Since when does random peoples blogs = news? I see it all the time on Yahoo. "Blogger speculates why." "Blogger disagrees." as editorials under major articles. Who gives a shit? Can't these cheap pricks hire someone to write editorials any more? They have five million fucktons of advertising on every page, there is no way they are hurting for money.

Fucking bloggers. I love it when I go over to a site with a focus on stocks and read a big long article that concludes with me thinking, "this sounds like a bunch of made up bullshit". I usually scroll further down to see that it was written by some college kid living in a fucking dorm room.

Yahoo is the worst with bloggers. It seems they pay these guys to blog about bullshit that no one really cares about. And they do a shitty ass job of doing it. I actually enjoy reading the comments on the blogs. They are entertaining as hell sometimes.

Yeah. If I want some random assholes opinion that has zero qualifications to speak on a given subject.. Well, I'll repost the article here. I don't need Yahoo to do my legwork for me.

Aren't you aware that bloggers are a valuable resource, due to the unbiased position they are able to maintain since they are not paid by sleazy corporations?

[Broncojohnny]

I have come to find that no one has an unbiased opinion. About anything.

But people respond to idiocy. Who doesn't like drama? Seeing absolute intellectual vomit in print just ruffles people's feathers, then they argue about it all, meanwhile driving time on their websites higher and increasing revenue from ad sales.

It's brilliant.

Blogs are fucking retarded, but whats with this stupid shit called "Think Tanks" ? Seriously? How are these people qualified to do a scientific study?

Usually think tanks are full of fully accredited experts, and are funded by corporations or philanthropists, depending on the focus.

Didn't feel it was necessary to add that part, just that they usually are classically trained experts.
