Journalists do not know history, even current events. It just makes me cringe when some psycho kills a dozen people and the fools report it as “The worst mass killing in US history”, or some nonsense like that.

Seriously, if Murdock buys the LA Times and the Chicago Trib, he will have to found a journalism college just to have some reporters who aren’t utter imbeciles. The current crop can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

FReepers can intellectually destroy any MSM article in mere moments.

It’s a wonder that any Editor is still employed.

“The worst mass killing in US history”, or some nonsense like that.

Someone posted another thread earlier about the Ten Deadliest Bombings in US History. This one wasn't even close. Aside from Oklahoma City, the WTC and an unsolved bombing at LaGuardia Airport in the 70's, most were pre-1960 and involved anarchists or labor agitators. Aside from that hideous 1927 Michigan school bombing and a couple of nuts who blew themselves up on airplanes to let family collect on their life insurance. They went back as far as the Haymarket Riot in 1886.

But I doubt you'd find one Journ-O-List in a hundred who was familiar with any of that.
