Is your comment for real? First of all, let's count the places where you fail to keep it real. Your keeping it real ability was obviously in question from the get-go, as your username sucks. Schmeriously Dave? C'mon. Your next failure at being a decently cool person making positive contributions to your society came when you lambasted over the Web (anonymously, lolol) a writer for a column by talking about a lack of original reporting in the piece (?). It pretty clearly says HER VIEW at the top of the page you voluntarily clicked on so even if your Dickensian grasp of the Queen's language failed to alert you to the fact it is was an opinion piece upon reading the first - I don't know - 150 words, the title tries to hit you in the face and let you know it's a column so you don't flaunt your brief moments of idiocy online in the form of, again, hammering into a college writer. But, most importantly, your rush to be a condescending jackass probably doomed your points for most of your readers who even cared to read what a Mr. Schmave had to say anyway. Even if the thing was utterly ridiculous and unreadable, what do you get from telling people what to hang on their mother's fridge or what the lump in their pocket is? Frankly, I have too many gliterry cardboard and glue framed comments from Internet geniuses like yourself to make room on my mother's fridge for this piece and I can't post here what the lump in my pocket is but I assure you it doesn't interview people. In the way you meant. I'm tired of giving you more time than you deserve, but I'll end by using your commenting guidebook's chapter six outline on powerful and persuasive closings. You're probably an (hmm, I have no clue) embittered bastard who believes they're some poetic and well-versed linguistic idol, just waiting for that one comment that will get you that recognition you so achingly want and long for. So the fact that your writing is (hey look, I didn't have to change anything) immature is understandable. The Plainsman, on the other hand, should be embarrassed blah blah blah. (I didn't change that either because I don't get why people like you can have your posts like this left up online for so long.) While not technically anything constructive, overly original or worth any time at all, there is not a single thought here I would guess is capable of achieving anything. (And you just suck.)

this is a column, not an article.

Is this for real? Switcheroo aired June 29. So this is ACHINGLY crusty, old news. Also, an honorable, talented journalist would not collectively agree for her readers any point but rather present the facts. Your writing hurts my eyes and insults my intelligence. Since Journatic is still around, aren't they still trying to change journalism? Or are you pronouncing them dead? And how is this even news if you are only regurgitating what This American Life reported (3 months ago!!!!)? Is there any original reporting here? Here's a great passage to hang on your mom's refrigerator: "In fact, Journatic is creating this deluge of quick, short stories by outsourcing contributors, primarily the Philippines." ("quick, short stories ... Brilliant! -- "outsourcing ... the Philippines" -- is English even your first language?) You feel that hard lump in your pocket? It's a phone. Use it to call people and interview them. You might not like that Journatic employs writers in Ohio to produce content for readers in Houston, but at least they're producing original content. You, on the other hand, are so behind on this story that it's no longer even factual. I suppose your next assignment will be a recap of an E! review of Dancing with the Stars season 6 finale. You're probably a recent college grad. So the fact that your writing is immature is understandable. The Plainsman, on the other hand, should be embarrassed for publishing this garbage. While not technically plagiarism, there is not a single original thought here. (and the writing just sucks)

The Plainsman tweeted a link to this bile spew. Where's that unfollow button?...
