An attempted trolling comment submitted today in response to Has anyone seen Eric Schmitt (r)? (July 8, 2023):

There’s literally no story here. One quote and some hand selected responses to it? What happened to real reporting/writing/journalism?

You could follow the original link.

You wouldn’t know real reporting/writing/journalism if it bit you in the ass.

Here’s the thing – there’s nothing stopping you from starting up your own site and demonstrating your superior grasp of the principles of real reporting/writing/journalism, is there? But you won’t.

Or, alternately, you could get a cushy gig writing op-eds for some national media chain. Heh.

We rest our case.
