Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements; they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled 'wrong'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
With no more than six levels of misquotation, any statement can be made to say whatever you wish.
It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
I've learned the hard way at the national level that any erroneous statement will very quickly be magnified. So, as someone who talks for a living, I've learned to check, double-check and triple-check my sources.
Vagueness is at times an indication of nearness to a perfect truth.

When you are writing something that is false and presenting it as a fact without confirming... I feel it's extremely wrong.
I do work a lot on arguing that things which people assume are always wrong are not necessarily so and, indeed, can often be right.
When people blanket a whole class of people with statements, I just think that is unfair to everybody. I could do the same thing about media. I can do the same thing about politicians or lawyers, and they're just never accurate.
Journalists do not like to report on uncertainties. They would almost rather be wrong than ambiguous.
Accuracy of statement is one of the first elements of truth; inaccuracy is a near kin to falsehood.
