You can always find a prediction that predicts anything you want. Most such predictions turn out to be somewhat to entirely wrong. Too much so-called “news” these days consist of predictions, claims of what will happen next, what such-and-such really means, and similar intangibles. Actual reporting–the who, what, where, when–has fallen by the wayside, as it is so much easier and much more fun to be a crystal-ball gazer: no follow-up, no follow-through, no consequences, and no heavy lifting required on the writer’s part. Just kick back, connect a few dots or anecdotes, and you’re done with that assignment.
Where do you think it will all end up?
With nothing good is all I know.
