If they’re doing it intentionally, then they’re just intentionally writing badly and making me read them less.
But they do it constantly across a wide variety of topics. They write an article and provide some fact or stat but almost always fail to provide the context, or the full statistics that would make that a meaningful stat to compare. Or they provide a stat that doesn’t actually tell you anything about the question at hand.
I honestly just think that they have either crappy writers, crappy editors, or some combination of them just fundamentally lacking scientific / logical thinking skills.
The CBC has done other articles recently on the South Korean bids. It seems more that they are just spreading out the stories as they get ‘exclusives.
Here are two ones from May that CBC linking in the newer article featuring the details on the Norwegian-German subs.
