Then to me, at least, what is self-evident is that journalistic ineptitude (or journalistic recklessness) and/or exploitation of the effects of privacy laws by advocates is the problem. It sounds like you're saying that it's self-evident that the problem is attributable to the privacy laws themselves.

It seems self evident that if the crisis is truly what the advocates are claiming, we would never have had the RS fiasco. It's a logical conclusion, but some are obviously not following logic.

Count me as one not following this logic. Even if the problem were as some claim, it would still be quite possible for a newspaper or magazine to publish a story with no basis in fact.

My posts here are about this topic, so I'm sure that contributes to the "vibe". But this is just one small slice of the Internet and my posts here are just a tiny slice of my life, and it would definitely be reading more than it is to think this is the only topic I engage in or follow or am interested in.

Fair enough. Sorry for any mistaken inferences.
