I'd love an explanation of what this entire comment means.
- moritzwarhier 3y agoI'm not a native speaker, but other than the definition of "white cane", there was nothing in the comment for me which would be considered hard to understand. Journalists explain something accurately, which was previously noted by others, but still was under-reported relative to the potential public interest. I'm still learning :high_five: (maybe everyone is)
- blep_ 3y agoI am a native speaker, and I've never heard "white cane" before.
- moritzwarhier 3y agoThanks for the clarification, after briefly looking up the term I could have ended up believing this was the common translation for what I know as "Blindenstock" in German. What is the correct term for this? White stick?

- sdwr 3y agoI think what the comment is saying is that the job is not taken seriously by reporters. White canes are a reference to props used in old-timey vaudeville acts (?). https://youtu.be/zgwG5wA5s3Y https://youtu.be/zgwG5wA5s3Y The whole thing makes no sense to me in connection with the article.
