An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw
I love this photo that Brain Traffic has labeled "RSS in the olden days."

When journalists decided that the public (the audience, the customers, the readers, whatever) was not people whose actions they were recording, but ignoramuses who failed to see the right road and needed to be constantly educated.
It is appalling that people are believing some of the junk being spread around. It is understandable to me that they believe this rather than listen to a medium that tells them, "You people are idiots."
