26. Remember when we had a thing called "journalism?"
Sat Dec 6, 2014, 07:11 PM
Dec 2014

I took journalism courses in school. The Five W's in the first paragraph. WTF is this shit? I've read more thought-provoking, in-depth reporting in high school newspapers. But then, reporters' jobs were notoriously low-paying back in the old days. Now they're probably lucky to make $5/hr plus tips. And we wonder why there is no "news." If you don't have blonde hair and large breasts, you aren't qualified to read a Fox "News" TelePrompTer.
