Sony’s Concord might be the biggest entertainment failure of all time, so why wasn’t it news?

      That’s the reader’s job. There are other articles that cover Concord and Concord’s flop in detail. Those topics have their place and it’s not in the meta discussion about the meta topic, by definition. Having to do the reader’s job of staying informed on a topic in articles about the meta discussion would prevent the discussion of the meta topic. Which is the goal of your argument.

      In other words, your argument is intended to silence criticism of the mainstream media under the guise of imposing a moral value, incorrectly as it stands. If we followed your argument we would be unable to discuss anything because every discussion would have to have the context of what came before. What your argument calls for is lazy. If a reader wants to participate in discussions they have to take the time to get informed.

        It’s pretty rich, you blaming the reader for the journalist not doing their jobs and being lazy.

        Oh, by the way, you can stop it with the incredibly lengthy and verbose replies. I’m not reading it.

            But they didn’t do their jobs. Haven’t you been reading what I’ve said?

            What about “you’re definitely wrong” and there’s nothing you “can do to change my mind” do you not understand?

              I recommend you read how my argument refuted your argument’s central point. An efficient argument is useless if it is incorrect.

                It didn’t know. You were wrong from the start, and the longer you stuck by it, the more wrong you became.

                And since you seem to have trouble with your memory, I’m going to repeat: there’s nothing you can do or say to change my mind, this is lazy journalism. At this point, you’re entertaining me by wasting your time.

                I suggest you move on

                  The only way to know that for sure is to read what we both wrote. I did so I know. It’s entertaining and enlightening so I don’t mind.

                    I feel bad for people like you, people who can’t just drop it and move on.

                    I realize that there is some urge inside of you, some quiet rage, that you just can’t let go of. How miserable that must be for you.
