    But isn’t so much journalism nowadays characterised by unsubstantiated speculation

    No, by definition, a billion percent NO. I don’t understand how words have lost their meaning today.

    your criticism amounts essentially to your dislike of the thesis of this piece.

    Show me one word that criticizes “the thesis” of the piece. I have not. In fact, I think it’s well written and thought provoking (in the same vein as a 9/11 or UFO theory is). I have argued, not that an argument should need to be made because /reality/ and /definitions of words/, that it is a random person with no journalistic credentials making, and admitting to, unsubstantiated claims based on guesses and supposes. This, by definition, is not journalism - nor NEWS.

    Dude. There is nothing wrong with the fucking article other than it is not fucking news.

    How broken are people? Is it the fox newses that have broken you? TikTok? Reddit? Twitter? Do people have some false belief that armchair speculation, random ideas and theories with no source to back it up, is fucking NEWS?

    Furthermore, the rules of this forum require a link be from an actual news source. This is not.
