Michael Eriksson's Blog. A Swede in Germany. Intolerance of opinion and the threat it poses to society. Leave a comment ».

Michael Eriksson's Blog. A Swede in Germany. Leave a comment ». The last few days, I have read a number of news articles dealing with the Klitschko Jennings fight. These have provided ample evidence of my long-standing complaint that journalists tend not to know what they are talking about and fail to do appropriate background research and quality checks. Referring to Jennings as Brandon (actually Bryant ). Confusing the time Klitschko has been undefeated with the length of his title reign. I too make mi...
