Conventional journalistic bloopers

Yes, of course, deliberately difficult to discern here. But it is unnecessary (and perhaps not too much, at all) evidence that should be very wary of the Internet. Internet can not replace the system of education and the more understanding based on a practical study of the subject. I know it sounds a bit corny to many, but all the same for an even greater number of people (many times), it is more important than the banal. And with increasing Internet audience numbers are expected to grow.

Remark is absolutely correct. People for whom education is the Internet, are not always able to distinguish it from psevdoinformatsii this information or at least begin to doubt and try to double-check by different sources. Internet - a pile of manure, which a lot of pearly grains. And the chance to take the manure for the pearls is not so small
