Saturday night, I diaried another compilation of citations for news about Africa. The comment thread probably is more interesting than the diary. Most of the comments are not about Africa.
I cited one article from the Baltimore Sun and one from AP. Those stories were so marginally related to the topic that I should have omitted them. Of the other 29 stories, concerning 12 countries, only one was from a U.S. source, Nasdaq-Dow Jones.
American journalism is in a sorry, tattered, shabby condition, and anyone who depends on it is poorly informed. Heaven help us.
