I wasted two hours of my life reading the newspaper today. It was strange. It made me feel like I was out of touch. I haven’t read the newspaper in probably,...well..., ever.
By reading the newspaper and getting back in touch with the media, I learnt that:
War - what is it good for? Nothing.
Obese America? Let’s get anorexic together.
Internet? Emails can get misconstruded so you should not use them as a cop out from real face to face communication.
The news to me, is really bogus. I’d hate to be a journalist; you feed the nation crap and watch as they swallow it whole. Infact it is nothing but a random and insignificant thought but hey! you're a journalist so lets manipulate it and feed it to people! Most only care about what is crammed into a paper because they want to sound educated. I'm fed up of having to dig in the dirt for the truth because it got buried under a bunch of fucking lies. It makes my nails hurt. And then the media have the nerve to ask 'why aren't young people interesting in the news?'. Possibly because the news is fake. The news isn't news. Its lies and totally exagerated facts. And that it the first and the last time that I bother to read the news. My nails better toughen up, cause they are gonna have to keep on digging. I ain't settling for the news and its crap. I want the truth.
Now why does that statement strike fear into the heart of every journalist in America?....

I don't know about the journalist there in the U.S. But I have a lot of faith in the journalists here in my country.
I think that not all journalists are bogus. Some are actually brave and some even go to war just to deliver us the freshest news straight from Iraq or *insert any place of war here*.
They made lot of sacrifices just to write a story people will read on.
What do you think?
Yeah, journalism can vary but the MAJORITY is involed with magazine gossip, and lies. You only have to walk into a shop and there are racks of magazines filled with the latest celebrity gossip or just general news lies to scare people.
Those journalists who risk their lives to tell a story e.g. Iraq, all credit to them for trying to sell the truth. But lets face it, they are a minority. The rest would rather be safe and warm in their nice little office where there is no risk of death but all risk of profits and $$$.
It is same almost everywhere in the world.
But trust me, there are "real" journalists also.
Just a few fake journalists spoil it for all the good ones.
Finally, it all comes to earning one day's bread, which all humans normally do.
It also depends on the category to which a journalist belongs. Agree?
