[Platt] No, it's not a question of "being bothered." It's a question of truth and accuracy in journalism.
[Arlo] The report was accurate. You made presumptions and didn't bother to check them out. This shows why critical thinking skills are so important. [Platt] I was let to believe by Jos Laycock that the Independent held a high reputation in Britain for professional journalism. [Arlo] And it does. Because you are unfamiliar with the structure of the NHS, and jumped to an unwarranted position, is on you. [Platt] Now I don't know where you get your ideas for "critical thinking skills," but it seems that truth is not high on the list. [Arlo] Quite the opposite. A critical thinker would have looked past the headline before drawing conclusions based on ideological assumptions. [Platt] I've grown accustomed to these personal attacks from the holier than thou crowd who inhabit academia. [Arlo] Those of us who "inhabit academia" are appalled that expecting someone to actually "think" is a seen as a "personal attack". But given what what inhabits talk radio, I understand why. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
