As a journalist myself, I found this as one of the funniest and most astute columns I've read in YEARS!

First of all, it is common knowledge to everyone but journalists that journalists are among the most goofy, self-important, ill-mannered and neurotic individuals extant. Journalists should, in fact have a Dysfunctional Hall of Fame, but there’s not enough room for it on the continent.Hmmmm. I know two journalists on this thread.... At least one is a chain smoker with an attitude. :-)
The other needs to update his blogsite!

Excellent column. Anderson knows that modern journalism is not dangerous necessarily for what it puts in, but for for what it leaves out. Too many stories focusing on the latest nutty liberal cause while leaving out what's actually going on.
I've seen too many stories about the tragic case of some unfortunate omitting the fact that the unfortunate might have caused his or her bad situation. At the end of every one of those unfortunate-victim stories, the alphabet journalist would ask or imply what the government was going to do for the poor unfortunate. I wanted to scream at my tv, "tell the poor unfortunate to quit whining and get a job!!!
