NCM,

Derp - it goes without saying that Tabatha is a columnist. Your facile attempt at patronizing aside, she's not only a columnist, but one who apparently didn't graduate high school, it would seem. 

Have you recognized the fact that media, either way it is delivered, be it through columnists or journalists, conveys contrived media? 

Btw, does not being technically a columnist somehow absolve a journalist of bias? In your world, then, should people read certain portions of the paper, say, the sections written by journalists, with a greater sense of trust, and then dial it down when they come across columnists' work? Do tell us acolytes how we should go about handling things.

" You have a role too - to consider the source of anything you read. "

Duh, check that. Did the nature or tone of my initial tone somehow escape you? Let me know - I can upload a drawing if you wish that may facilitate this understanding.
