"The problem I have with a lot of investigative journalism, is that they always say: “There should be more investigative journalism” and I think, “When you tell me that a lot of rich people aren't paying tax, I’m shocked but I’m not surprised because I know that. I don’t want to read another article that tells me that”. What I want is an article that tells me why, when I’m told that, nothing happens and nothing changes. And no one has ever explained that to me."
I think he is making a big mistake here. There are a lot of things we "already know" that aren't actually true or we don't know the extent. We should appreciate people who deliver data that we can then try to explain. there is already way too much opinion going around that has no data to back it up.

- maxxxxx 8y agoIt seems that way but nothing should be done without hard facts.
