3. Journalism...
Well first ya got your "journ" which is the latin root for "wandering liar". Then you've got your "al" which literally means "all". Then, at the end, you have "ism" which means "the study of".

So, essentially, journalism is "the study of all wandering liars."

"The news reporter who is on MY side is the news REPORTER who is on NOBODY'S SIDE."

'nuff said.
