Good grief yes. If that was a sincere paragraph in that article, than I have to admit that there is no hope there, because any kind of self-reflection and soul searching is basically pointless with that kind of revelation. This weird patina of technically true sentences structured in a way that is intended to mislead or lead onto a specific thought pattern is just sad for anyone paying attention. This weird variation of navel gazing is very weird though. Is the author seriously suggest they should stop doing that? At that point, even the remnants of their current credibility will perish with the first source they burn since no one sensible will be stupid enough to disclose anything of value. If it is not sincere, then I am in full agreement with you. It is a poster child why Americans lost faith in news.
