You had me till you mentioned journalists. And I look at all the destruction of America caused by so called journalists. You might have well said lawyers.
Anyway it is all escapism. I dont take any of it extremely serious. If I’m entertained it’s all good. Gunfights are phony as are fist fights. I am entertained by some and some just go too far and I lose my ability to suspend reality.
I think you have me wrong.
I mention journalists because movies and TV make them out to be hard working, researching, investigating.
They are the furthest from that. They are generally lazy. They are usually illinformed. And the TV ones a usually just plain stupid. Ask anyone who has worked with or around them, and you will get the same answer.
Photojournalists are generally pretty decent, low key guys who know their field. You cannot lie with a photo. But the movies usually make them out to be peppy little Jimmy Olsens. Most of their lives are assignments that say, “go get me a human interest photo that shows how sunny it is. And don’t bring me the same thing you’ve any single time in the past forty years.”
