Its called group intelligence.
His experience plus the ability to translate it to a significant news event is why we DU-ers are way ahead of the press and regular people on the news.
Im sure most of you have the same experience that I do when friends and family send you a news item. You look at it and think oh thats old news. Of course , being a thoughtful, polite person, you never say that.
Also notice how posters asked questions and the op was able to quickly provide sources and answer them immediately? Thats critical thinking in action.
I often tell my classes that this is why you want to belong to professional groups that have posting capabilities. We have that in AFT.
Thanks for the interesting and detailed post, jmowreader.
