I think we all know why the last article was on the site James linked to

and not on any credible site. And it wasn't due to bias, lack of interest, and agenda.

It was a poorly written opinion piece that had a clear agenda. So I take it back. Agenda was one of the main reasons that article was not on other sites. However, It was due to the agenda of the author not the agenda of the credible news source.

The problem is that a lot of the "better" sources don't publish articles like

It's so hilarious to see the offense taken over two sentences. Love it.

so, that means no one can find it interesting?

No people can find it interesting. I mean I still get crazy forwarded emails

that's not even the point, and that you can't see that that's not the point

erkimust

Not the point? Every one of you missed the point of the OP.

The irony.

There was an article about it posted in Smithsonian.

Man, that was hard to find if a guy was interested.

Yeah. That's what happens. Sure.

I don't think you know what "take offense" actually means.

I don't think you know what I know...or something like that.

I'm so glad I'm a mental halfling...I can't stand those mental midgets.

TLDR: if you don't read hyperbolic clickbait, you're intellectually lazy.

TLDR? Really? The phrase "intellectually lazy" debuted in the final sentence.
