I suppose you can chalk it up to all those years I spent in journalism. I genuinely don't care what anyone else thinks about things. I know how to research and form my own opinions on matters that I care about. These folks have to honor the clock with deadlines and quotas. Whether they care or not, when the bell rings, they have to submit SOMETHING or they're done. When you're on deadline, ordinary care and research go out the window in order to make that deadline with an appropriate length of copy. Period.

I was fortunate except when I did broadcast news. When I write (and I'm still a contributing columnist here and there) I take my time and turn in my story only when I am done or feel like doing so. I'm not on deadline when I research and write stuff up. Makes a hell of a difference in the quality of the work, especially when it's technical writing like I do.

But no, I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinion, I don't have to wait in line like others to get my turn in front of the dispenser. :)
