...and the journalists who've blindly parroted the FUD.

You may have seen all the fear mongering in the press lately about the state of our GPS satellites. You may have even seen it on certain church "news-related" web sites as evidence of the coming prophesied dominance of Europe.

Well. Cringley proves that journalists are worthless. Since when is parroting press releases "providing the knowledge necessary to manage life in a complex world", which our intrepid media lawyers assure us it takes "real journalists" to do? I've read way too many "news stories" that were nothing more than minor rewording of a press release, and more than a few that were press releases out right. Big newspapers are dead and deservedly so. The sooner the corpses are interred, the better.

Journalism is still being done these days, but it's done like this.
