All I see is a search form.
The articles posted on cite information the user might want to see, like published works they mention or websites; as we did. There is no individual reference to each piece of information.
The issue has been fixed. If you want to continue to bitch, since all you wanted was an excuse to do so apparently, feel free to do that somewhere else. You successfully handled this badly.
Tom:
Articles also need to cite an authority on a subject the author is not an expert on.

You don't know much about journalism do you. You are actually being quite unbearable right now, I'm no longer acknowledging your passive-aggressive attitude towards TBB for whatever reason you have. Again, if you have a complaint, rather than make a big deal of it like an angry child you can PM me if you want to make positive change.
Tom:
I don't see any point of PMing you about this. If you make a topic for something, expect to be critized. You've been here for awhile, you should know that.

I really doubt you know a whole lot more about journalism. I'm not an expert, but I like to read the news, and have had to do a lot of research for a debate class I took.
You're taking this the wrong way. In really life, a credible news source has to try hard not to be too controversial because they need funding. They try to short out issue instead of "ignoring" them because they are being handled the wrong way.

Media studies is one of my core subjects. For the last two years I've been focusing on it as an area, I've had tutoring with a journalist at my city's major news outlet, and I've run my own student paper / blog for a year. Its been an interest of mine for my entire life. My supporting teacher who I meet with each week was a journalist also and helps me with my studies. Its my career path.
I'm no expert either, but I'd like to think I know a few things about journalism, and I also happen to know that critical response needs to be handled in a certain way; not just spewed out in the public domain in an aggressive manor. You haven't been helpful, you have refused to follow up the things I have asked you and even after stuntman proposed a proper complaint and I fixed it, you began to make up more problems. You aren't helping me, yourself, or TBB. You aren't doing this for the right reasons. Don't make this a problem, I don't need another person to be stuffty with me because they are bored and have nothing else to do. I've had issues before with things I've published, any of the advice I've taken from professional journalists would indicate that you as a reader should be ignored at this point.
