<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.world/@obrien_kat" class="u-url mention">@<span>obrien_kat</span></a></span> Yeah, I am always impressed by columnists who can produce an article every few days on demand, but it also makes me question how much they could really know about what they're writing (with such confidence).</p><p>Heck, I couldn't even produce a column *about my own research areas* with that level of confidence at that frequency… and these folks are opining about the entire world!</p>
<p>Tech folk complaining that kids don't understand computers after spending decades building completely opaque silos for big tech is just a stunning lack of self awareness.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> the WSJ does do some excellent reporting! One reporter I very much appreciate is <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mimsical" class="u-url mention">@<span>mimsical</span></a></span> … agreed on the opinion page. It’s not my No. 1 preferred newspaper as it doesn’t have the breadth for me, overall, and is a little too zeroed in on business and tech (which I want but not only), but I do like it.<br />I currently have, I think, six newspaper subscriptions 🤣</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> absolutely. I wonder in this case you describe if part of it is the pace at which people are asked to produce content, and feeling like one needs to pretend to be an expert on all things?<br />I listened to a low-quality ( 😆) podcast recently that someone shared, and I marveled at how the person circled around a very real problem but then zeroed in on so-called specific causes with next to no evidence for it. Surprise, surprise, they were selling a supposed cure 🙄</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> thanks for reading and for the thoughts!<br />2 - yes, it’s a massive problem that many people can’t tell the difference or don’t know the difference between news and opinion columnists (also, some outlets purposely blur line between the two, or between ads now).</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.world/@obrien_kat" class="u-url mention">@<span>obrien_kat</span></a></span> This is why my preferred newspaper is probably the WSJ. The op-eds are a dumpster fire at their best, but their reporting is excellent (and also, covers "liberal" topics in ways that would surprise many people who only know them from social media). I guess if you sell news to people who make money off the news…you need to just do that much better?</p>
