Crophugger,
It would be nice to know who scripted the information ------------ It actually came out two days after the usda report. And I suppose writing a rehash in the afternoon is what lazy reporters do on a friday.
But I find it hard to believe a writer who covers commodities in chicago does not know what the usda report said. Or a simple year to year comparison.
I wonder what percentage of the words printed as informational news is researched? And what percentage is actually just a "by line" on the prepared script? Like a paid for advertisement.
You have a point. Maybe there was no payday. Maybe he just wants to keep his job, or a connection.
Brings up a great trivia question. What was the last federal law actually authored by the congressmen that sponsored it?
What was the last federal law that was not reworded in the administrative process?
What is missing this year is those press releases about the record crop for 2014. ------ Our economy is so dominated by federal spending because it is so small. Not small in gross spending, but small in number of active participants.
There are so few major news organizations left, Look at a presidential press confirence and actually see how many chairs they need.
It shows how few are needed to get a message out.
