<cynic> This is classic journalism today. It seems that news is often reported in the same canned lowest-common-denominator style. Daily newspapers are the most painful when you actually have some knowledge of the subject being reported. However to be fair to the reporter, the problem might have been editing. More than once I have had an article dumbed down by editors to the point I felt embarrassed to be named the author. </cynic>
