Fast is Better Than Accurate...Not!

I had the pleasure of watching my niece graduate from Ripon College this past weekend. An added plus was listening to David Plotz, editor-in-chief of Slate, and Hann Rosin, journalist and founder of the women's website DoubleX.

I totally agree -- and here are some examples I came across while reading the "news" (and I use the term loosely) this morning. Quick sure doesn't mean accurate...or intelligent.
