One example of far, far, far too many. and, it could be argued, that example did the same. Distressingly little interest in honest information brokers any more - much more interest in being entertained and comforted (or, at least, world view reinforced) by ones chosen "news" sources, whether...

I think the events of the last year have more than adequately demonstrated that statement to be on shakier footing than we would likely hope. Moreover, this thread isn't really about the people demonstrating personal responsibility (a trait seemingly in short supply), doing research with...
