    Well yah. That’s how articles work.

    I tried to read it. I couldn’t get past the first paragraph.
    The anecdotal humanized narrative story type of reporting does nothing for me…
    That’s not true. It anoys me.

    I go to novels when I want a story.
    For news, I want information. What’s the data? Who’s collecting it? How? What are the hypotheses and relevent historical context? What are some (if any) solutions.

      All that is in the article if you scroll past that first bit. I managed to do it, I believe in you.

        I’m sure I could do it too, if someone paid me enough. Otherwise, life is too short.
