Sox,
No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying, is consider the source. All you point to is articles in the Media. When you were writing papers in School, ( assuming that you took some writing classes of course ), was it sufficient to document articles from the media to support your position, or did you need to also provide the SOLID EVIDENCE and INFORMATION?
Me? I had to supply the SOLID EVIDENCE. I had to point to specifice case study etc... Recent Polls, citing who conducted the polls, the result, the margin of error etc...
If you do not provide that evidence and you just provide media material ( i.e. hearesay ) that merely supports your position without tangible facts, you are being irresponsible.
