@Spooky - interesting article.
It sadly doesn’t surprise me.
1. journalism has for a long time lost contact with its core principles.
2. Generation Z are morally - totally lost. That’s not a judgement or value statement, merely an observation.
3. Millennials + GenZ are quite simply terrified to publicly hold a quite logical, but counter- “woke” argument.
I have zero problem saying that journalists are lazy p 1ssheads, that youngsters have no clue what they’re talking about and in my day my “faither wid hiv skelpt ma lugs” if I’d said what’s been said today by some quite clearly uninformed Tweenies.
That just reinforces the age/logic divide though…
Age - fair enough - I’m still the same annoying tawt I was 35 years ago - just 35 years older (and maybe a tiny bit wiser, but judge is out in that one).
Logic - I’ve only gotten more evidence based and method strong over the years.
I admit I’m a young old phart - but why does it seem to me that nobody is publicly pushing scientific method any more???
