I’d say that you’ve got a much better handle on the reading than most
Adrian was saying today that it’s really just a small reading in the larger scheme of things and that he only understands 80% of it.
I feel I understand it better now too Thanks!

I agree with your assessment of mainstream media as it is at present. It is a profit driven industry that mixes its editorial with its advertising and this is a confusing and dangerous development. It wasn’t always so muddy. The fall of newspaper sales has driven the ‘infotainment’ necessity of survival for these organisations. In days past newspapers relied on classified advertising – they even called them their ‘rivers of gold’ – leaving their editorial and newsgathering aspects somewhat free of commercial interference. This led to newspapers investigating things and discovering things that powerful and vested interests didn’t want investigated and discovered. Stories were fact checked. Multiple sources were considered. This was the job of a journalist. Those days seem to have passed for news organisations. Their perilous financial straits mean that staff numbers are down, stories aren’t chased and journos just reprint media releases holus-bolus. That is where media lets us down nowadays.

However, my concern with the blogosphere is much the same. Everyone has a point of view but which ones are right? Which ones are accurate? Where did the information come from and how can it be affirmed? Blogs I follow are frequently inaccurate. Often they are reposts of someone else’s opinion dressed up as fact. And who wants to read that?
