"Spend a week reading Haiti news sources and look for the overuse of the future tense, i.e. someone will do some Thing, someone is planning to, someone is donating, some Thing is being [insert verb here], a law will be passed, etc. It’s like reading air, all this text dedicated to future plans but not one word dedicated to evaluating whether the announced thing worked."
