Always enjoyable to read, on a blog, of another newspaper dropping the service.

I used to work in newspapers and can testify that not all journalists are bright enough for the task, though that may explain why union membership is so high. If it isn’t an ideological cause that makes them join, it must be the need to protect themselves in case management ever asks why such-and-such thinks they can write.
