I have to agree with you. When I was entering college back in '79 had I said I was going into journalism, my parents would have scoffed. The attitude of everyone back then was those who went into journalism went in because it was easy and they basically didn't have the I.Q. to go for anything harder.
Right. Journalists in the mainstream abandoned their role as critics of the White House for Clinton's reign. It's the hieghth of idiocy to point to modern "journalists" and make a point about how they savaged Bill Clinton. The opposite is true, big media protected and defended his highness for nine years, insisting the emperors new robes were grand.
Remember "the work of the people", "let's move on", "only about sex", "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"?
This clymer wouldn't last 10 minutes in a decent locker room discussion with informed citizens. Oh, wait. He's a Democrat Journalist (redundency), so he'll never be in one of those.
