The problem is there's so little of that on social media, and so many puffed-up pundits who don't know what they're talking about, but love to talk - especially when they're paid a great deal for it (eg. any day on FOX News).

It's almost all opinion with no background or analysis, and on things like Charlie Hebdo, for instance, that spells disaster...how many ways are there to tell the world that murder is wrong by way or your bigoted opining? Plenty, it turned out. My opinion on opinion just that I blame social media.Nylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257999988516436588noreply@blogger.com
