Think of it this way. What kind of person becomes a priest? For the most part, either a religious person or a greedy one. What kind of person becomes a journalist? Mainly borderline communists. The media doesn’t shill for politicians - politicians are the mouthpieces for left-wing positions that journalists hold but don’t have the political skills to sugar-coat.
Rilly? How does that work? I thought priests lived in plain, drafty rectory buildings and worked 6 days a week (especially Sundays), baptizing babies, witnessing marriages, listening to people's troubles, firing up sullen teenagers, and comforting the dying, sometimes in distant places late at night, but have to get up with their brain on to do a 7 a.m. Mass—for about $25K a year.
If there's an opportunity for the greedy there, let me know. Maybe I missed my calling.
