         This didn't leap out at me. Is it because good, in-depth reporting requires A LOT of research and hard work, and that modern journalism is adequately rewarded by re-Tweeted sound bites?

            @bobjonkman Yes. Without that research, they don't understand the subject matter well enough to give readers useful information, which is why they rely so much on the sound bites.

      > Read this and you will be able to understand things that escape the kind of journalists who write junk articles like "hospitals are running out of vaccines and nobody knows why because the states have a lot of unused vaccines" (see current NYT front page)

      > hospitals are getting Phizer vaccine, which is shipped direct from factory, just in time, and sometimes there is a production glitch so expected amount is not available
      
      > the state allocation is mostly Moderna, which is being distributed thru a bunch of companies that all have their own issues
