Journalist is really just a euphemism for propagandist. Arguably, always was, but now so more than ever.
I’m easily as down on the MSM as you are - but I’ve also known people in that profession who were as honest, hard working, and brave as our best citizens.
Because of creeps - like the ones you’ll see in this link - it’s easy to forget the good ones.
