LONDON (AP) — The sound of a crisply struck golf ball, not to forget the occasional hack, could be heard in England for the first time in nearly two months as courses reopened Wednesday as part of a modest easing of coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
Wow, this article is a piece of dangerous puffery. I know it’s hard to do actual reporting in a pandemic, but relying on known-dishonest government spokespeople with a tiny leavening of critics and no indication who is telling the truth…
Where’s the puffery? It’s a pretty good example of straight reporting. Nowhere in the article does it say that the Tory government has made a great choice to accelerate the restart of the economy.
Nowhere in the article does it say that certain parts of the plan, like lots of people going to work using public transit, are essentially self-contradictory. Instead, there’s a tiny hint the issue might be problematic.
