Is Jake married? Probabaly...aaaaaah, journalism...I love it.
I made a horrible mistake once. John Holliman who worked for CNN lived in the area of my college and came to speak to our communications department.
I asked the hard question, “Mr Holliman...we are learning here that we are to approach a situation unbiased and ask all the questions to give the complete story without rendering an opinion? Why doesn’t it seem like the media now is doing what we are being taught to do?”
He said, “If you polled journalists, you’d find out that the vast majority of them are liberal. That is bound to show itself in their reporting.”
The man was honest.
I think we asked more questions...but afterwards...Holliman asked me if I was interested in an internship position.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID YES.
I didn’t have transportation to DC, though and was full-time student...so I said I couldn’t do it.
Clinton was president. Holliman got interviews with him and then let his interns ask questions. He said sometimes, he used the questions and answers his interns got.
I mean, *$%^&...looking back...I wish I had said yes. But I was a full-time student, president of the debate team and wrote the conservative column in the college paper.
