Hey guys, it's time we give the lawyers a break ... at least for a few hours anyway. These past few months have decisively proven that lawyers are NOT the bottom feeders we thought they were. How can they even REACH the bottom when the journalists have crowded them out from that zone?
Some examples.....
Q: What's black & brown and looks good on a journalist?
A: A Doberman
Q: How do you know when a journalist is lying?
A: His lips are moving.
Q: What do you call 5000 journalists at the bottom of the sea?
A: A good start.
Q: What do you call a field full of journalists buried up to their necks in concrete?
A: Not enough concrete.
You get the picture....
Q: why do they all wear neckties?
A: to keep the foreskin from rolling over their faces
Q: What’s the difference between a dead journalist and a dead snake, laying on the road?
A: The snake has skidmarks in front of it.
As someone who has devoted a lifetime to journalism I am appalled and disgusted by the mainstream media.
Journalism is supposed to be a sacred trust. It's a self-discipline. You are constantly examining yourself, being held accountable, so as to cultivate a mind without bias. To report the news with as little partiality as you can and let the chips fall where they may
Today's "journalists" are no such thing. They are a propaganda organ. And they have violated that trust in every way it can be violated.
Take it a step farther - rewrite the famous Shakespeare line.
it’s odd though, seems almost every “journalist” on cable TV is or was a lawyer.
Seems to be the odd one that is not now-a-days.
The only group lower is bureauRats.
That Shakespeare line is misquoted/misinterpreted all the time. It was a complement to the way that lawyers and judges keep law and order in the land. Here is a good summary: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/17/nyregion/l-kill-the-lawyers-a-line-misinterpreted-599990.html
Journalists have played an important part in this election. The bad ones need to go. The good ones need to stay. I see no need to start smearing all journalists, especially when the efforts of many of the good ones are what led to Hillary Clinton’s crimes being exposed.
Yes, I fully understood that. Because the rest of the context doesn’t accompany it. In my most simple terms it means “if you want to take over a country, first you have to incapacitate its lawyers.”
My use was solely because it is so WIDELY accepted as a slur against lawyers, and I just carried that onto Journalists.
Name to me one “good journalist” you think worthy of your caution.
As a lawyer, I agree.
yeah both of the good ones
