> Yet, the vast majority of people need the news Yet, this is not an "either/or" situation. You can generalize and cite a source. However, for some reason you choose to ignore this simple fact. Instead, you're essentially saying "kids these days don't understand what journalism is; summarizing sells, but we do it poorly because we're human, so get over it". Absolutely useless. Actually, people here on hn can summarize better 4 times out of 5, and that's the reason I've mostly stopped following links and read comments instead - there are too many lies in journalism, even if unintentional (and I believe it mostly isn’t).
