So what you're saying is that IGN isn't a source for actual journalism? I'm shocked and appalled!
I don't know... maybe I am... maybe I ain't... take it as you will... XD
What I am advocating though, more then anything, is to look deeper then the surface of things you read... we have a pretty good word in Swedish for this,
"Källkritik", or being
"Källkritisk"... I think most of you are familiar with the English equivalent of the word,
"Source criticism".
I still read all the same articles that most people do, good and bad ones... but I try and make sure I don't get to hung up on everything they say... and try and make sure to find and read potentual original sources (like the reuters article I linked in my previous post... which IGN actually did link right there in the article they wrote, which is actually good, that they atleast pointed you to where they got it from), and look at other things surrounding it as well, who wrote it and why, etc. I try to find the true puzzlepieces and combine them into what seems to be the most true image of the entire thing.
So I guess I am saying
"Do look a gift horse in the mouth"... XD
