Why is it easier to filter through the agendas of journalists instead of the experts themselves? As professional mouthpieces, journalists are more likely to have agendas, not less. Recent history has show that journalist are more interested in activism than is integrity.

Facts come first. Would you all be ok if I’d generalize saying that programmers are smelly introverted incels?
