I don't honestly know how I could disagree with you more. Your definition of a 'bizarre' world equates to my version of an ideal world.

How dare people question media?

How dare people think for themselves instead of accepting what media tells them?

How dare they?

You have vilified everything that goes wrong with a democratic society.

Your mentality is the problem.

Yeah, that's great, but for fuck's sake, you don't "question media" by simply launching into an ad-hominem attack against the Rolling Stone. Stop trying to defend your little tantrum up above by having another little tantrum.

His tantrum is so childish it is embarrassing. He responds to himself complaining about the response his whiny ad hominem comment received. The ironic icing on the cake is that he is complaining about how far HN has fallen!

You are completely free to question the media and think for yourself. The linked article provides more than enough information to actually get you started.

No one ever claimed you have to accept what the article says.

0% of what you claim to be responding to is what he actually said. For someone that claims to be want to carefully evaluate the information presented to him you might want to figure out what he actually said.

Baseless complaints about the source does not qualify as "question media". Your comment is mindless contrarianism, not the intelligent skepticism you think it is.

You're free to question media. Welcome, in fact. I would love nothing more. But you didn't do it, and to act as though you did when someone calls you out is dishonest.
