The weakness of MSM coverage versus what people get here on FreeRepublic, is that the “professional” journalist knows very little about that he’s currently assigned to report on, while here on FR we get people chiming in on discussions who have expert professional knowledge of the particular issue

I look back on the journalism students I knew in college and you would be hard-pressed to find another group of students less interested in acquiring knowledge.

You raise a very good point, and if I may amplify it, the ability of the "professional journalist" to read, write, construct sentences and comprehend is pathetically weak.

They are "face men and women" only. And their writing is so bad that any chance they have at being accepted is totally discounted. They are ignorant and vapid.
