Yup. And in my experience it's still higher quality than any newspaper article. I have NEVER seen an accurate newspaper article on a subject I was conversant in. Not once. Which leads me to believe they're equally worthless on subjects I'm not conversant in as well.
Journalists are rarely qualified to understand the subjects they report on, so journalism is little more than the ability to write pyramid-style articles that fit the column width and stick to a 'so-and-so said.....' formula. The only thing you can trust is that so-and-so said that, and that is on a good day.
While I agree with you in general, an exception is The Economist. The articles on subjects I am conversant in (science mostly but other too) have invariably been spot on. A subscription gives at least ten hours of reading each week.
Didn't Motorola have a similar phone. Forgot the name of it, but if I remember correctly it was build mainly with 2nd-3rd world countries as target audience. IIRC it had a monochrome OLED as a display. You're thinking of the Motorola F3. It has an e-ink display.
