what a completely anonymous person on 4chan says.

In the spirit of accuracy in media, let's agree that Q doesn't post on 4chan, but 8chan.

I just think it's recockulous that you are defending journalistic ethics. It's just a simple fact that deep throat was used as an "anonymous" source and all of the journalistic world used him as a source, based on Woodward and Bernsteins alleged contact with him.

If we want to draw comparisons, for example, a reporter could interview me and I could report to him what Q has told me. Then I become the source, you see? Journalism!!!

There are many ways to report "news".

It's a mistake to compare the journalistic ethics of a left wing/deep state media that used "Deep Throat" as a source but fails to even ATTEMPT to investigate and report on Qanon as a source. Surely, you can see that.

In other words, ethics shmethics.

I'm not, It was speculation, for the sake of discussion.

A better writer would make it clear whether he is speculating or making an assertion.

And, for the record. This is not what speculation looks like.

Q doesn't want reporters writing stories about him, he want's anons decoding his messages, he wants them to spread to secondary web sites, like Free Republic and Twitter and Gag and You Tube.

I think that if you followed Q (and if you did, you would know about the 4chan/8chan thingy) you would have a better grasp on "what Q wants." That's all I'm saying, Jack.

Maybe the concept of "journalist" didn't even exist exactly at that time. The Missouri School of Journalism was the first J school in the world, and opened it's doors in 1908.

I wasn't aware that there was no such thing as "journalism" until a "Journalist" school was started. However did people spread the news before that happened?

Just like a philosopher doesn't need to have a degree in philosophy to be one (for example, I'm a philosopher), a "journalist" doesn't need to go to so called "journalist" school to be a "journalist" He just needs to function as one.. You need to stop letting the enemy define the terms of engagement, goodman. And being their mouthpiece.

This is easy stuff, Jack.

Think logically.

(wall of text just for No Doll. In my defense, you have to when arguing with Jack Black.)

Plus, I think after all the effort and work Jack puts in busting our balls, he deserves a good argument once in a while. Dontcha think? Fair is fair. And I'm a kindly man.

Just happened upon this nifty post. Supporting you and chipping in with my 2 cents. Certainly there were people who wrote the news back before we were even a country! Remember that nifty pamphlet-COMMON SENSE-by Thomas Paine?

Were people writing for newspapers not Journalists? What is a journalist? If one definition includes some one who writes stories to report the news then journalists have clearly predated the MO. J-School.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_American_newspapers

Excerpt from the above link below:

“The history of American newspapers begins in the early 18th century with the publication of the first colonial newspapers.... The U.S. Postal Service Act of 1792 provided substantial subsidies: Newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny and beyond for 1.5 cents, when first class postage ranged from six cents to a quarter.

By 1900 major newspapers had become profitable powerhouses of advocacy, muckraking and sensationalism, along with serious, and objective news-gathering.”

Unfortunately, the last item in the above paragraph has been diminished and the FAKE NEWS MEDIA has increased the muckraking and sensationalism exponentially! JMHO

Thanks, very fair response.

As I recall, Q started on 4chan. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my recollection, and several web sites seem to agree.

How was Q's authentic-ness passed from 4chan to 8chan? I believe that there is a hashed cookie (nothing to do with weed, despite how it sounds) created when you first post on these boards that would be extremely difficult to duplicate. (Maybe not that hard for NSA class hackers.)

Are you confident that 4chan Q and 8chan Q are the same guy / group? Has the real Q posted anywhere else as Q?

Sincere questions. I don't lose sleep over them, but they have crossed my mind.
