How many of you even KNOW a 'Journalist'?
Very few, if any of you. They run in their own circles.
I knew them because my business required their physical presence to purchase a required (by law) product.
Let me tell you about them......
First off, they don't make a lot of money. Only the VERY top people make any money.
Even in our area (fairly big) they made very little and were on a quarterly contract. At the end of that quarter, they could be fired without cause by simply not renewing the contract.
I worked with one. He was trying to raise a family and couldn't do it by being a corporate nomad and getting paid peanots.
So let's go back to the beginning....
How do you become a 'journalist'?
You have to go to College and get a J-Degree to start with. If, when you graduate, you don't want to be working for the Tractors-R-Us fishwrapper, you better go to an Ivy League School or, at the very least, something like NYU.
Whcih costs money.
LOTS of money. Lots and lots and lots of money.
Then, when you get out, IF you're lucky (and I mean REAL lucky) you can get on as an intern at one of the big productions in New Yawk Shitty.
Know how much Interns make? Nothing. Or next to nothing.
And then you have to be there for at least a couple years before you have ANY shot at a full time job as a writer.
Know what writers at the smaller (and even some bigger) papers make?
We're talking $50k a year. Tops.
Know what rent is in New Yawk Shitty??
More than your take home from the $50k a year job.
So who goes to College, spends $75k on a BULLSHIT Journalism degree, gets out, works for free for 2 years, then gets a job paying less than the rent?? All the while having to pay back that College Loan (which is a LOT more than just tuition, girls)
dimocrap scum, that's who. They were dimocrap scum when they started College and they'll be dimocrap scum for decades after. Probably forever.
So look, why wouldn't somebody with that kind of smarts (Columbia is a liberal cesspool but it's still a tough COllege to get through) -- Why would he or she become something useful........ A Nurse Practitioner, maybe. THAT would really be helping people.
Or an Engineer? That's a REAL Degree. Or maybe even a Doctor?
Why?
First, because they're lazy, like all dimocrap scum are, and second because they want o be noticed.
No, not noticed...... Worshiped. Like Actors, Actresses, perfessers, etc
It isn't the media that is The Enemy Of The People.
It is THE PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA that are the enemy of the people
I know wherefore I speak. Believe it
