Inflammatory and ill-informed garbage, not worthy of a fine newspaper. This article fails to explain the actual threat posed by a rogue CA. The eavesdropping exploit posed by a rogue CA also requires a technically tricky feat called a "man-in-the-middle attack," and is hard to pull off in an open internet. It is easier in a so-called walled-garden network, but the article came nowhere near to explaining this. Maybe this writer should have talked to more experts.

This story objectively describes confrontations around the US between Muslim communities and nativists; it makes sense of disparate approaches and points to ideological organization among the opposition. It would be better if it had more historical context.

Terrible headline. Decent sourcing. Not much theological or historical depth.

This story about burnout among clergy obtained input from a wide variety of religious organizations, and summarized it well. The writer could have spent more time on questions about how the steady decline of congregations is causing overwork and stress.

This long and beautifully crafted article about ars moriendi, the art of dying, covers the end-of-life decisions that are the consequences of modern medicine. Gawande uses a wonderful combination of personal stories and medical outcome data to go into depth.

If this article had interviews with Hybels and other working pastors, rather than just denominational hierarchy folks, it would have been better. But it was quite useful

This short and clear piece compares a straightforward Canadian approach to immigration to the politically fraught squabbles in the USA. It briefly gives historical context. It explains Canada's approach to economic migration, and offers interesting contrasts without exaggerating the parallels.

This is another example of science reporting that resorts to the stupid crutch of ascribing intent to evolution "This may be simply because men are programmed by evolution to think more about mating opportunities. ". There are plenty of educated people in the Telegraph's market who would make better science reporters than this clod. Fail.

This clearly written short piece describing a change in Roman Catholic canon law quotes both members of the hierarchy, victims of the abuse, and knowledgeable scholars. Canon law is obscure and this article competently sheds light on it.

This short account of the latest Teach for America crop artfully hints at the clashes that are bound to ensue when overachievers drawn to an exclusive program confront troubled public schools and their students.

Bad science reporting! This article unthinkingly employs the infamously triumphalist "evolutionary forces push" some kind of biological trait fallacy. At best, that's a convenient scientific shorthand for "we speculate that thus and such a trait is (a) heritable and (b) confers a selective advantage." It reports some facts from a scientific paper. But the only source is the authors. An outfit like Time with a budget and access to talent can do better. Fail.

The best of short science/health reporting. This story, originating from a scientific conference, tells of changes in the way an incurable long term disease is diagnosed, and considers the social and personal implications.

This article succinctly summarizes some eye-opening secondary-source public health research. The authors of the paper used data provided by other researchers, while carefully assessing its accuracy. The Economist story's lede is infections disease, but the paper's lede is parasite infections. Because of the potential for abusing data correlating nationality and averages of intelligence tests, I wish the Economist story was a little more modest in its claims. The underlying Royal Society paper is worth reading.

Preston goes into depth about the effect of I-9 enforcement on a farm town in the Columbia River Valley. She explains Immigration policy and enforcement methods clearly in a way that lays out the human side of the story.

To uncover a loophole may seem like easy pickings in 21st-century America. But this story does just that by explaining how simple it is to circumvent a ban on congressional earmarks sending funds to for-profit companies. There's one thing missing: an explanation of how arduous it is to get a 501(c)(3) approval certificate for a legitimate new foundation.

This long piece goes into depth on the history of the Roman Catholic hierarchy's response to abuse of children by ordained persons. It shines the clear light of truth on the complexity of canon law and church history.

Very well-done story with a clear explanation of complex financial shenanigans employed by a particular multinational pharma company.

This piece gives good background on one big problem with insurance-based universal health care, the so-called "adverse selection death spiral." The piece could have, but didn't, contrast the Massachusetts plan. That plan contains provisions to overcome the adverse selection problem.

This short piece is a balanced update on the unfolding coverup news story.

It's not right to make the unqualified assertion that energy companies oppose climate change legislation. It's only in congress and in the right-wing echo chamber that this issue is so black-and-white.

This story entirely, uncritically, and without any sources, accepts the canard that Romney is responsible for crafting the Mass. health insurance reform. That's just not true. The provisions of the system (such as the protection for small business) were worked out by Health Care for All in public meetings. The legislature was compelled to act by a successful ballot initiative signature drive.

Sprint has been known to provide their device gratis to customers in fringe-reception areas.

This brief account gives a hint at the pain and anguish caused among the faithful by the ongoing struggles with rogue leaders in the Roman Catholic church.

I'm afraid this story simply stirs the outrage pot, rather than reporting on the news. An enterprising reporter could have figured out roughly how much of the urologist's billing comes from Medicare and/or Medicaid, and tried to look for consistencies, or inconsistencies, between the doctor's political statements and the way he is reimbursed for care.
