how do you provide evidence driven by personal disgust about writing style? Especially when that style of writing is only journalism which is the lowest form of writing.

Vox, Slate, Salon, New Yorker pretty much all the same, ... except a major difference (that makes it even more annoying). With the former I generally expect utter trash and am not surprised when it is trash, but the latter is trash dressed up in fancy pseudo-intellectualism.

reading Taleb's Black Swan might help also understand some peoples distaste for it: https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/877259529196642306
