Comparative Journalism: On a Sidenote

Human interest, sideshow, fun facts etc. They are on the home page of every news outlet today. News has to be fun, of course, just like everything else. And if you think that the official press agency of the Islamic Republic or Iran (IRNA) has to act any different, you are clearly mistaken.

From their healdlines:

'Half of Indians defecate in open, but more own a mobile phone: Report'

From this article we do not only learn a lot of superfluous statistics about India, the smarter reader can deduce in the syllogistic manner that: Some Indians defecate in open and have a mobile phone.

Just so you know.
