Home » Hog farmers want…. something?

with one comment

Hog farmers want to get a bailout? Actually, this article is so poorly written, even that much isn’t clear. They definitely want something.

My understanding of the deal in Canada is that hog farming has been a bit of a speculation business for the last 10 years. So now that waaay too many people have entered the market, it has caused a crash. Notice how this has nothing to do with the economy?

Here’s the problem with the journalism here:

  • there’s no mention of why farmers think they deserve anything
  • or say, why they wouldn’t deserve anything… It’s a surprisingly information free zone.
  • what might the farmers be after? apparently “short term help?” That’s the last line of the article. Jee thanks.
  • any sense of context, at all
  • So is this blog post about retarded journalism, greedy farmers, or crappy government that has set up this needyness? TO be determined at a later date….
