Today’s fraudulent journalists should be ashamed of destroying a noble profession

“What I’ve got is F*****G Golden,” said jailed Democrat Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He was referring to his opportunity to appoint an IL senator to Congress after then Senator Barack Obama became President in 2009. Well, pardon my hubris, but what I have is Golden also, in today’s Hades of Politically Correct Journalism. I have a FIFTIES JOURNALISM DEGREE from that same state, Illinois. Therefore, permit me to advise you budding cub reporters and “J Skul” students of some imperatives I was taught way back when Dinosaurs roamed Wright Street into Greg Hall.

“Just the Facts, ma’am; Just the Facts,” said Jack Webb’s Sgt. Joe Friday in another media offering known as the detective genre. My professors stressed over and over, “Be OBJECTIVE” in your news stories! “Get the facts.” You may NEVER EDITORIALIZE in your news stories! “If you misspell words, if you misplace commas, if you EDITORIALIZE in NEWS PRINT, I will FLUNK you,” I remember one professor telling us. We spent time discussing the difference in meaning between objective and subjective. “You are reporters, not opinion columnists,” we were told. “Don’t mix the two.” (Today, I write with a right bent, but I do so quite obviously and NOT with an intention of fooling anyone.)

After low these many years, I finally have grown comfortable walking into a cocktail party and watching as smiling clutches of attendees head to the corners. Back in the day, the last thing that cops, politicians, administrative or government operatives wanted to see–or horror of horrors, share a glass of white wine with–was a REPORTER. “You may NEVER associate with the subjects you cover,” was another professorial dictum.

Should be?

They have gone far beyond SHAME they have sold their souls to the progressive liberal democrat communist party where shame is non-existent for the professional propagandist.

Not to mention jurists that were supposed to uphold the constitution, have also become activist agents of change.

Both institutions need to be blown up and rebuilt.

The mainstream media are not journalists; they are propagandists.

When was journalism ever a “noble profession”? In fact, when was journalism ever a “profession”? Simply getting paid to do a job does not make a career choice a profession.

Many of them semi-literate propagandists.

Their ends will be more than enough to reward them for destroying The Republic when the Rapture removes Christians and the media whoredom is left to deal with the Islamic bloodthirsty murderers, gangs of roaming drug addicts, and race-based mobs. I doubt any of the fools will enjoy the ride in that wave of their own device.

Enemies of God, too. They are ‘at enmity with God’ and take pleasure in that position.
