You know, if he was hung from a lamppost wearing that thing, everyone would get the point. And it wouldn’t be his.

In the sense that, yes American journalism today is a raging dumpster fire, yes, America needs real journalists, not the ersatz variety on offer today.

Re: “America Needs Journalists”

I agree.

Since American citizens refuse to do that kind of work, we need an unlimited H-1B quota for foreign journalists.

While we are at it, how about an unlimited H-1B quota for foreign lawyers, too?

At face value, this is true. America needs journalists. Most of the clowns pretending to be journalists in the various media arenas in America are simply liberal clowns whose dislike for America is clear to anyone with a functioning brain.

America has very few journalists.

New tagline: “A joy it will be one day, perhaps, to remember even this.”

Journalism schools will be replaced by pharmacy degrees.

Britain seems to have an abundance of qualified journalist. You learn more about what’s going on in America reading the Daily Mail or Daily Telegraph websites than you will ever get from CNN or MSNBC.

-—”Let’s face it: the best and the brightest do not choose journalism as a major in college. People become journalism majors because it’s a slacker degree.”-—

Joe Namath’s famous answer to a snarky question before winning the Super Bowl for the Jets: “No, I didn’t major in underwater basket-weaving at the University of Alabama . . . it was too hard. I had to switch to journalism.”

There is a bit of truth to the T shirt. America really does need journalists. The main stream press has no journalists. They are just a mouthpiece for the ongoing coup.

Well, he is right. It would be nice to have some journalists. What we have now is a bunch of sophomoric twits who think they are clever and who enjoy playing hide the ball while practicing snark.

We only have a couple of actual journalists.

Most who pretend they are, are actually propagandists.

It’s true. They’re an endangered species. There are a few occasional sightings, but they are quickly choked out by the invasive Leftist political hack variety.

American needs HONEST JOURNALISTS,

His t-shirt needs to be copied with the "HONEST" stuck on it like a correction !

Yes, nice colors. But, if he would just put a hammer and sickle underneath the words, it would be much more accurate. Pravda loves red.
