That's a bit harsh. But this is a rant and I forgive it! Still, it's not the kind of statement that will ever get ANY of the people you are referring to to actually pick up a legitimate paper and read it. And then they have to think about it and most people don't have the time or energy to do that anymore becuase they're too busy trying to make ends meet!
But please do keep on ranting. For the most part, I agree with what you have to say :)
