Sounds just like you writing this.
They lift each others' best work.
Lifted anything lately?

"Almost all American journalists hate every one of their colleagues; and they do not much like their colleagues' friends or relatives, either". My brother was a public affairs chief in a now closed Air Force base in upstate NY years ago. He made the same point as the author, that all journalists hate each other. But this is the first time I have seen this in print. Journalists are also incredibly catty. In Goldberg's book on Media Bias, he also made the accurate point that journalists are the only group that make lawyers look good. Basically, journalists are lousy creeps, and the American public is aware of this.

Thanks for your devotion...How do you manage to do that?
To: Texasforever
Your "wants" are not my concern.
To: Texasforever
No, I want to see you hold your breath until you turn blue
So what you're actually saying is no I won't answer the question "Did you write the article?".
Okay.
To: philman_36
Your "wants" are not my concern. Now tell the truth little one. Your tongue was sticking out when you typed that right? Now go to sleepy bye like a good little boy. Be sure to make pee pee before you drift off into never never land.

To: Miss Marple
You got a little something on your nose there...you might want to wipe it off before someone notices.
To: JohnHuang2
Excellent!
One journalist is not worth ten repo men or a hundred nurses.
I take exception only to the claim that journalists are a higher form of life elsewhere.
They are not.
Disclaimer: I am referring only to "national politics" journalists and editorialists.

"I have many fond memories of the Pulliam Fellowship program, which was my first - and only - experience working on a large newspaper. The feedback editors gave me on my writing was invaluable. I love living in a small town and working on a small daily, but I will always be grateful for having the opportunity to work at The Indianapolis Star!"
