>Israel would probably be fine with a moderate government in Iran. A moderate Tehran doesn't encourage Hamas and Hezbollah to randomly lob rockets into Israel.

I don't think they would be happy having a moderate government that could still evolve Iran into a regional leader.

What if they couldn't grt an answer, should they just not publish in that case? And why would they link to the press release, they are not a propaganda office.

They could at least raise the questions in the article instead of leaving readers with the impression they didn't even try to find answers. Worst case, you write "the person we spoke to declined to comment".

Just reporting the contents of the press release as if it were your original reporting is worse IMO. At least reading a press release you know the source of the information and what their agenda is.

Not every single article needs to be Woodward and Bernstein dude. Sometimes you just need to report what happened, what someone said. If that ends being an incomplete or incongruous picture, you gotta chalk it up sometimes to the nature of such matters in the world, not a deficiency of the journalism. Your argument could be applied to literally any piece of journalism! In general, answers to possible questions are not finite, metaphysical things that we can always fully account for, and its not a news articles job (which isn't even a long form investigation style piece!) to try.

I know, of course, you are not arguing uncharitably here, so I can only assume this is the first news article you have ever read.

Yes, I'm fully aware this is an extremely common problem. I'm just saying if the article adds nothing over the press release it's reporting on (and even actively removes important context) then we should just link to the press release.

I wonder how long it takes (it took?) before Americans think this is how it all should be, and that this is how it is in every country.

Not maybe, they do. And noone wants their product so expensive that people starts looking for alternatives.

I cant see how the ecosystem evolves being a bad thing?

This leaves me a bit scared for uv and ruff to be honest.

Isnt there correctness with Zuban?

"So you dont have to" - I suspect the person you are replying to likes to write code.

> This has been 100% my experience. I enjoy the puzzle solving and the general joy of organizing and pulling things together. I could really care less about the end result to meet some business need.

I don't really see where he/she said that explicitly. My understanding is that he likes to solve problems but don't care about the final implementation. But I stand corrected.

This is me as well. I am actively seeking out a different line of work, because talking to a chat bot gives me 0 joy.

No its not.
