It’s a typical example of “modern journalism,” however unintended. The “reporter” let his own feelings become more important than the story – “the story” being defined as the actual facts of the events he was assigned to cover – and, following in logical sequence, to write a story as he WISHED it would be, rather than as it was.
Of course, anyone who has read enough of Mitchell’s work at E&P knows better than to put any credence in anything he writes anyway.
Some of my friends will say, “But this makes him look so foolish!”
And I will smugly reply, “See, I knew you hadn’t read him before.”
:-p
