A lot of so-called journalism today is literary masturbation where, instead of researching a subject and writing an informed and stimulating article, the writer has a wank-fest of verbal indulgence expressing their personal opinion.

You have to make mistakes to learn. The real damage occurs when this behaviour lasts past college!
