I obtained this "article" from a blog I regularly read. It is about whether or not journalists should be licensed in order to curb what kinds of stories are being put out there. To use the author's own term, it isn't fair for the media to "exercise" all these different perspectives on people. The shame---how dare they!?
Check it out. The comfort to me is that no matter what happens to journalists, there will always be a need for editors. There are no less than five mistakes of varying kinds in the short piece.

The public is being onslaught with an enormous amount of information due to our increasing rush of technology and it has to be hard for them to differentiate between real news and opinions being costumed as news.
Hilarious.
Ahh...licensing. Opiate of the guilds. Crusher of freedoms and of viable competition. Friend to the mediocre. Replaces the discernment of the market with the fiat and favor of the bureaucrats...all "for the people", of course.
The real question to put to this person (and her ilk) is: will licensing really eliminate opinions in the news? Or will it simply work to eliminate the opinions that are unfriendly to those dispensing the licenses?
Barf.
It's very disturbing.
