No, you’re absolutely right.
It’s after you do some learnin’ that you get the hell OUT of journalism....
Truth is I liked to write but couldn’t stomach the phony pose that I was some sort of standard that “ordinary” citizens were supposed to answer to. I ended up drifting toward doing only feature stories on people who did work I admired, or had written books I admired, or knew stuff about hunting and fishing that I wanted to learn.
Finally I just left the biz altogether...mister, the atmosphere in a newsroom is even more poisonously leftist than it seems on the page or on the air.
p.s. You “do ebonic”-—heheh...I’d like to see that...
It is contextual. So If I get there, I’ll try to remember to ping you.
I otter slide some in since it is and being “People Who Need Special Attention and Axsknowledegment For No Apparent Reason” month.
