Big difference between "plot" and perfect example of the language used by journalists - passive voice, no subject doing any firing of a weapon.
It's a great example any journalist should be reflecting on and thinking, yeah, not good enough, rather than excusing, as "oh that's just how we write"

They can’t, because if merit had anything to do with jobs in journalism, most of the stenographers would be unemployed.

My wife’s Chinese, plus cost of living make China the ideal destination. Might consider it once I’m closer to twilight of my career, assuming I’m still employable.

Missus and I are going to have a crack living in China, so regular visits might be on the cards.
