Jack Dolan of the L.A. Times reminds us that idealism and an inability to think analytically has nothing to do with ones formal education and academic pedigree.
In light of California's money woes, Jack Dolan took on the task of exposing California's fiscal mismanagement in recent writings. So what his journalistic investigative acumen settled on was the misuse of the states Welfare cards by it's Welfare recipients at strip clubs, casinos e.c.t. Simply put Jack Dolan settled on maintaining the status quo of popular suppositions that governmental money mismanagement lies at abuse, misuse and irresponsible behavior by it's least stable and marginalized elements.
It would have been a breath of freshness had Jack Dolan of the L.A. Times one of the nations great publications, settled on tracing and defining California's Political-Economy historic missteps, instead of the expedient exploitation and opportunistic relevancy of California's Welfare recipients on why the Great State is $19 billion in the red.
Journalistic integrity would require Jack Dolan, for starters to show the idealistic nature of California's prison system and it's criminal drain on the public's fund. Investigative acumen would demand Jack Dolan's intellectual rigor in exposing money mismanagement by police departments within the state of California owning Military tanks (why should a police department own military tanks, doesn't the National Guard fulfill that role?)
It is always easy to misdirect the public's ire at it's marginalized and scape goat it's Welfare recipients for all the it's ills and Jack Dolan does exactly that with his Welfare card scam writings. But as mush as Jack Dolan anticipates a Pulitzer in his future what he deserves is condemnation, scorn and disdain for his type of journalism.
