Newspaper Reporter Still the Worst Job in America

The media jobs once coveted are now scorned.

[Farmer Dean]

I thought that being a proctologist in San Francisco was the worst job in America.

[Does so]

Notice all the Middle-East surnames...

[Vigilanteman]

One of the dirtiest jobs in the country for sure. But they are obviously putting the most weight on employ-ability here, not dangerous or dirty.

[SkyDancer]

It takes talent to distort the truth to make it newsworthy.

I really enjoyed my morning newspaper.

It kept getting smaller, more expensive and more Democrat.

The American Press is more concerned with convincing the public instead of informing the public.

[Buckeye McFrog]

A station here had both of their morning news anchors leave to become investment advisors.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

2nd worse job you ask...? liberal president!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Worst job in America?

I doubt that. Ask these snow flakes what they would rather do...be a newspaper reporter or a deck hand on a crab fishing boat in Alaska.

Plus, I'm sure Mike Rowe could come up with a few other jobs that would make newspaper reporter look real good.

[Blue Jays]

If journalists were more decent and truthful they might find that people enjoy working with them and would be nicer in return. I assume the vast majority of media people (not all, but most) are distorting facts to suit their left-leaning or downright liberal agenda.

The photograph that accompanies this story shows a young woman with a mike standing in front of a TV camera, yet the story is about newspaper reporters.

A lousy job of reporting.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Eeewwwww! :)

[Buckeye McFrog]

...I mean, they actually expect you to know spelling and grammar and stuff....

[SkyDancer]

Either their agenda but I bet it’s more the newspaper’s agenda instead. Look at the New York Times. Sure their reporters change things around but I’ll be it’s their policy.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

"Tell those pantywaists to come up here and shovel ice!!"

[MarvinStinson]

Worth Repeating

The American Press is more concerned with convincing the public instead of informing the public.

Based on my few experiences with journalists the wave of Schadenfreude is strong. There wasn’t a single time when what I said wasn’t distorted and s#!+ I hadn’t said inserted. And this is after the bastards made a point of recording the interview. F ‘em.

[Sooth2222]

"Plus, I'm sure Mike Rowe could come up with a few other jobs that would make newspaper reporter look real good."

I don't think Mike Rowe has ever done a "Dirty Jobs" program on newspaper reporters. (Same as I don't remember any Dirty Jobs programs about undertakers, forensic pathologists or proctologists.)

When I was in high school I worked at a gas station. I had to clean the restrooms too. The womens was always the worst. Looks like now they’ll be equally bad :-)

[wally_bert]

Working for a Midwest based electronics recycling and resell out run totally by slave driving, barely literate psychopaths is pretty darn miserable.
