I worked in printing for many years. Specifically, pre-press. Computers, especially the Macintosh, hit that industry in the mid-late 1980s. By the middle 1990s most of the high-paying jobs in pre-press were obsolete.

Then the internet kicked-in, and demolished what was left of the entire industry.

Journalism is a crappy field to try to get into, but the same source, the Daily Beast, regards as “useless degrees” Chemistry, and Mechanical Engineering.

More bad news for those budding Ernie Pyles of the world as The Daily Beast ranks journalism at the top of its most useless degree list.

But there is always room for some more Walter Durantys in the MSM.

Yet the MSM tells us that internet and it’s ragtag band of renegade bloggers and other “alternative media” aren’t able to match their standards of “professionalism”.

It seems the market if voting differently.

One, of the many reasons I hate leftists, is their blatant bias in reporting the news.

They destroyed the newspaper industry. I know I was one of millions of people who used to enjoy reading newspapers.

And they are destroying the major TV news networks.

We need the Pyles of the world as much as we need the shingles.
