Personally, I don't any of these maggots working at any food outlets. Besides screwing up a simple order and acting surly, they might bring some bad diseases and sanitary habits with them.

I don't want Raid sprayed on my food nor near it.
Journalists believe themselves uniquely qualified to comment on public events, and to exercise freedoms of speech and press. For that reason, they are losing market share, credibility and of course, their jobs.
LOL
Is moving from pajamas to underpants a demotion or promotion?
Nah..........just the server gets sprayed.
Recall that it was reported this week that the number of women as presstitutes was increasing. There were lots of reasons given but the most likely was not.
Women are favored over men because they are cheaper. Women are a cost savings manuver by managers. the fact they see Journalism as a crusade rather than a job is also a plus.
The same tide rolled in to the banking business in around the 80's and women began replacing men in jobs other than tellers. Branches began to have female managers and loan sellers on very tight leashes. They were cheaper and didn't mind doing the responsibilityless work.
So it is with journalism. If you are a male j school graduate......good luck.
Ironically, if the media didn't do the job they did, Free Republic wouldn't have anything to discuss...
I suspected as much and noticed the same dynamic in TV "news," with the added reason there being that the ladies are easier to look at.
Another reason, besides their absorbency, why the printed media aren't going away for a while ...
My advice to all these journalism school graduates is to study for one of the graduate school tests, maybe take out some more student loans, and try to get into business school.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the feeling of entitlement that J-school graduation entails.
Most of all, it is imperative that we journalists state the truth, without fear or favor. We must be prepared to take unconventional, unpopular positions....
... that are exactly the same as all our fellow fabricating, plagiaristic, J-school drones.
And here are his four points:
(1) We need more Jews in the media. You can never have too many Jews
Of course, he means liberal and above all atheistic Jews. Everybody knows that a conservative Jew is as much an unperson as a conservative black... he is about to be drummed out of the Chosen People and given his foreskin back.
(2) Objectivity is a good thing to strive for in journalism, but not at the expense of failing to confront the obvious. My own newspaper, for example, has written extensively about Vice President Cheney without once pointing out the self-evident fact that he is — and I offer this as a trained professional observer — Satan.
I'm sure the paper has gotten the point across, Gene. You're so thick you missed it.
(3) You know that guy, Anderson Cooper...Can't we put him in jail?
Hey, does anybody watch him? Nielsen says no. He's already in jail as far as his public influence is concerned... kind of like TimesSelect columnists. Sorry 'bout that.
(4) Our field is changing rapidly. Technology is overtaking us at an unheard-of pace.
Thing is, lardball, you guys are not the gatekeeper any more. The brothers and sisters can do for themselves, as it were. They don't need the High Priests of the Antigod to tell them what to thing -- every American can design his or her own newspaper or newsprogram, thanks to the internet. It's like having a remote control for tendentious crap.
Oh, and the reason the Miami Herald used to be thick was because it used to be a good way for advertisers to reach people. Now the only ones that still get a paper newspaper are elderly retirees on a fixed income, and thirtysomething J-school grads still living with Mom and Dad as they work as bus boys.
(Hint: if you're an adult and your job title includes "boy", you probably are off the fast track).
d.o.l.

LOL
I can *not* be the first person to observe the irony of a pampered, isolated, multimillionaire copy reader purporting to bring the rest of us "Reality".
Actually, I chortled to myself when I read this line in the piece:
Good jobs in journalism have become scarce as newspapers shrink and die, broadcast media fragment to smaller niche audiences and the public appears more and more willing to receive its "news" online from nincompoops ranting in their underpants.
My thought: "All your cash are belong to Katie, J-school kiddies!"
;-)
LOL!
New keyboard time.
Sorry. The checks in the mail....
I was a journalism major. And I just had a long discussion the other day with my 10 year old son, who declared he wants only to be a professional baseball player, so he sees no reason to have to learn math.
So I told him how I wanted to be a famous author. And I told him about my first day in Newswriting 101, when the professor said, "So, you all want to be writers? You're all going to starve." Then I pulled out my old college curriculum guide and went through each major with him. When he pointed to art major, I told him there's no money in it. When he pointed to computer science, I told him there's money in it. I think he got the message.
