Another Defective News Report

This is a very interesting news report claiming that narcissism is on the rise among young adults (something akin to what I noted here). Unfortunately it neglects to give a link to the study or say where it was published and other such minor details.

Reporting the Important Things

Way back in high school when I was taught about journalism, they said that the basic questions that reporters needed to ask were: Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why? This news report seems to have been written by someone who missed all that. Not a single name of any Egyptologist associated with this project is mentioned. What evidence did the team actually find? If Ramses III was murdered (which I have never doubted) how was it done? It is astonishing that this news report Brett Smith manages not to tell us anything.
