I know quite a few fellow members of the news analysis and commentary business, and I have it from the highest-placed sources, on the record, that each and every one of our children is a genius.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.
Kids are smart: don't underestimate their bull detector. Contemporary kids have access to a lot of information, so don't even try to fool them. I have never been more nervous about my research than when writing for young adults because they pick up every single error.
Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television, batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
The kids who speak well, are articulate and intelligent, are all readers.
Words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as scientists.
It's a lucky child that knows that they're a genius, unaimed and all that.
I fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism.
I have been fortunate that publications like the 'New York Times' and 'The Wall Street Journal' have allowed me to share some of my opinions with a wider audience.
Most journalists are idiots.
