For some reason reading those comments reminded me of a great thread where Kpj told us about sitting in on weight watchers meetings...

I can't understand how utterly aggressive/defensive/opinionated people are about concepts they have skimmed over in the "news"!

I remember a lecturer at Uni quoting a statistic that 9 out of 10 people read only the first third of any newspaper article. Considering newspaper journalism typically follows a pattern (see below) and we have a problem with detail:

Headline draws interest
First sentance summarises what the article is about
First paragraph effectively lists all the major points
Remainder fills in the details
