It was the communist plan in the 1930’s to first take over both the Education and Journalism Depts of higher education, make them brainwashing sources for their Marxism, and thus to take control over both Education and Journalism in the USA.

Conservatives warned about this from the ‘60’s and were ignored.

What we have is their success. Taking over the USA from the inside.

It is irreversible. Apart from divine intervention. or something else.....

The institutions full of Marxist rot must be shut down.

Alinsky tactics will get it done—and faster than most folks think are possible.

Close the journalism schools; prostitutes learn their trade on the streets.

What you wrote is exactly what I remember in J-school 30 years ago when I decided to take newswriting courses.

First of all, you weren’t allowed into those courses unless you passed a test on writing skills. Anyone who didn’t score high enough was required to take an extra writing course. I was the only one who scored high enough, but the writing instructor made sure to put my one wrong answer on the board so the whole class could laugh at me before she said I could leave. LOL

The first newswriting course was like boot camp for writers. The instructor had no trouble criticizing all of us and handing out F’s.

Here is what she hammered into our heads every day:

(1) Never use words like, “I think.” You don’t think. You are nothing more than lowly reporters. NO ONE cares what you think. Your opinions don’t matter because you are NOBODIES, so never put your opinion in a news story.

(2) Never forget to attribute to a source. (See #1.) She gave us all big fat F’s on the first paper because we all forgot to attribute some piece of information.

(3) Everyone has prejudices. Figure out what yours are, and then make sure you’re being objective.*

(4) Don’t major in journalism. Journalism should be a minor.

* This is where news reporters seem to lose their way.

Facts are not propaganda agendas are they don’t mix it’s one or the other one must sift the issues for truth.
The MSM makes it’s living off half made up stories to keep the lefts socialism alive aka American Marxism.
