That’s an interesting question. Personally, I don’t. But that said, I think there’s a difference between, on the one hand, someone who’s less critical of a human-interest fluff piece than something with concrete impact like political, economic or climate reporting, and, on the other hand, someone who’s uncritical of all reporting. All I’m saying, and I admit it got a little lost in my snark, is that it’s not fair to equate the two groups. The mind is capable of calibrating it’s skepticism to the significance of the subject material. This despite people such as you and I who choose a broad-spectrum skepticism. The only danger comes from broad-spectrum credulity, not from those who’s level of skepticism depends on the impact.
