(bitching about my mental bad habits)

Very often it's obvious how superficial my interpretation of news is. It's frustrating and embarassing, and makes me not want to open my mouth about news at all. My first analyses are based as much on my emotional reaction to reading or listening to an article as they are on the content of the article. I remember inflamatory bits and pieces quoted by blogs or half-heard snippets, not sources or context or related articles. Ugh.
