@Demi Many thanks for your input, Demi.

Demi Ebrite Dec 17, 2009:

@Woodstock I am aware of the points you make. I was hoping to convey to Mehmet that the term he wishes to more clearly define is actually irrelevant to the article he read. The opening sentence makes no sense when the article is read in its entirety. I'm not sure what you mean regarding posting sources, as I haven't (yet) posted such a link. If you are offering advice, thank you, it is good advice! Blogs are blogs; anyone who can type can submit articles on the internet.

Woodstock (X) Dec 17, 2009:

@Demi I don't know if you read political blogs (US) or not, but a huge percentage of the discussions on them are based on articles - news or other types - found on the internet and then posted and dissected. So it wouldn't be unusual at all to come across blogs with quotes from/references to current events, which are then interpreted one way or the other, depending on your political leanings. It's just not journalism anymore. So as a general rule, it might be a good idea to look at what you're posting as a source before you link it.

The lead line in this article is poorly written . The article is unprofessionally written, imho, offering a leading statement that has little or nothing to do with the actual story, which is about an interesting custom engineered Mac system is that the Danish Police are using. I have read this bit of news elsewhere, professionally written. It has nothing to do with what the Police use or do 'on the go,' or out in the field away from their HQ.

@Mehmet, No offense to me and no problem. I was just curious about the connection and how you got to naming that website as a source for news about police in Denmark, when it is really a political blog in Fresno, California.

@Jonathan : Censorship? Really? Not at all, where do you get that idea? I can't stop anyone from clicking the link, I just wanted to let any unsuspecting readers here know what awaited them if they did. Besides, I really was curious about the connection to the question. As you see, Mehmet posted the source without realizing that it's not a reliable source for news, and that the content there can't be called "journalism".

Jonathan MacKerron Dec 16, 2009:

@Woodstock are you advocating censorship?

Mehmet Hascan (asker) Dec 16, 2009:

Hello Woodstock,
This question was actually asked in English =>Turkish pair. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_turkish/other/3600944-o...

I only typed in "The Danish Police Department isn’t using" on the search bar and found that website for further context. No offence intended. Moderator, perhaps, may decide to delete the website altogether. Thanks.

Hello, I'm very familiar with the freerepublic website, and I wouldn't recommend people clicking on the link unless they're interested in an ultra-conservative, American political blog. I'm very curious why asker would post a question from that particular website. And by no stretch of the imagination would I consider anything posted there to be "journalism". It is virtually all opinion.
