How well does the media do at the 7 areas of solid reasoning.

Overall its hard to say if the media is good in certain areas of reasoning because the media is not made of up of one person. Its made up many people with different strengths,weaknesses and if people like it or not sometimes biases. The areas that media does do a good job in is clarity and logic. Articles typically need a clear statement and to be logical or they wouldn't be published or broadcast. but the accuracy is sometimes sacrificed to make "good news". The breadth is usually compromised from bias towards one side because some media establishments tend to be either liberal or conservative and they take one point of view. So it all depends on the journalist's and their editor's understanding of solid reasoning. One article isnt a indicator of media as a whole.
