I’ve sent so many replies like this. Never once heard back.

@zadrozny Thanks for sharing! I read up on the BS (it has it's own Wikipedia page!) and feel like I wasted now at least a fraction of the time you wasted on that reply..

After all the times - what still motivates you to write these extensive replies?

@matt I guess partly because it tickles me, partly because I want them to know journalists are real people and not evil enemies, and partly because I want them to figure out that they’re wrong.
@zadrozny Thanks for fighting that fight one by one then! Hope one day you're successful in getting someone to see the need for critical thinking - pretty tough especially when it involves acknowledging and relinquishing long-held beliefs and biases..
