I'd love to know the information that's being presented here, but it's presented in such a lousy and verbose way that I just don't feel like reading it. Why is it so common for journalism to be faux novelism?
- michael_dorfman 16y agoI feel sorry for you, if you think only about "information" and not the presentation of the content. This was a beautifully written piece, and there was nothing "lousy" or "verbose" about it. In my opinion, this was an excellent piece of journalism, and I'm glad that the "long form" piece hasn't completely disappeared.

- TheSOB88 16y agoI know it sounds deliciously ironic, but I already know the system is fucked up. But the article didn't really draw me in or give me any clues about why what it has to say about the subject is relevant to me. I mean, we all know that dictators are killing people right now. Does that mean we need to read the stories of their victims' families, and how sad it is? Every time something like that happens?
