As shown below, today 'Container Journal' started flooding readers with junk (after a relatively calm couple of weeks). That's not journalism but paid-for garbage.
Summary: "Container Journal" has just joined the ranks of many sites which, while going defunct, basically sell out and become webspam/PR mills (there are several others we can name some other day)
