I tried, multiple times, to read this. To me, it reads as if it was written by someone overly enamoured with the sound of their own voice, trying to be sophisticated and complex and dramatic and literary, and somewhere the purpose of journalism and communication has been lost, swamped by the words. As I write this the post has 4 points, so it's been upvoted. But has anyone here actually read this to see if there's any real information in it? If so, how did you read it? Maybe it's just, and finally I've got the attention span everyone is accusing teenagers of having, even though I'm rather older than that.
