    THIS ARTICLE* SAYS JOURNALISTS OFTEN ENCOUNTER A PUBLIC THAT IS LETHARGIC, "TOO TIRED OR LAZY TO DO THE MATH, OR SIMPLY APATHETIC".

    THEIR ROLE, THEN, IS TO INSPIRE OR ENRAGE PEOPLE TO ACTION WITH "SOLID INFORMATION".

    IS JOURNALISM ABOUT TALKING DOWN TO A BASICALLY STUPEFIED AUDIENCE?

    EVEN SUPPOSING WE DO ACT STUPEFIED, AREN'T JOURNALISTS TO BLAME?

    OUR INTEREST, OR LACK OF IT, IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS IS AN INDEX OF THE HEALTH OF THE INFORMATION ECOLOGY, WHICH JOURNALISTS SHOULD HELP SAFEGUARD.

    IT'S OUTRAGE-INSPIRING HOW QUITE A NUMBER OF THEM FAIL TO DO THAT.
