Reporters Report Reports

The lamestream media told you:
National Public Radio reports that four graduating seniors in Tucson have developed technology that could save the city millions of dollars at its landfills over the next 20 years. It’s not clear whether the city will implement the technology.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
What is the money-saving technology? The report didn’t say.

People reading news on air are readers, not reporters. They read material handed to them, produced by writers and editors who are not and cannot be identified. The readers, sometimes disguised as or mistaken for actual reporters, read the handouts whether the material makes sense, is rational, or contains gaping holes that make it meaningless.

Failure to read the material as written, or questioning it in any way, is grounds for dismissal, and is never done.
