    A lot of neurotic, paranoid, entitled, and "safety"-obsessed 20-and-30-something journalists are really upset about this tweet, which reinforces my belief that it's 100% accuratehttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1121128231359459328 …

    Journalism is now dominated by 20-and-30-somethings who are incredibly neurotic, paranoid, entitled, and constantly demanding "safety" for themselves when journalism necessarily entails confronting uncomfortable facts, evidence, and arguments.

        You should be lauded for your critical thinking skills. Also, if I say a racist thing that I think is true and a bunch of people are upset by it, does that also make my racist thing true? Asking for a guy on Twitter.

        Haha, also, Ben Rhodes in 2016: "The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

        Literally "knowing nothing" might help to explain why they're so defensive or, as you put it, "neurotic, paranoid, entitled, and "safety"-obsessed."

        I've been saying watching the news is like listening to my students lie about what happened to their homework. They would start with, "Uhhh..." and it went downhill from there. I'm listening to an entire sect of the news industry, and it's a money making industry, say, "Uhhh..."

        You are a young guy but trust me, that phenomenon was in full swing when I exited an editorial department for the last time in the Eighties. It obviously has gotten much worse but it's not new.

        It’s worse than that. They replace people bought out at once respectable publications and in that experience vacuum they turn venerable dailies into Buzzfeed on dead trees, and that’s the best case scenario. Journalism didn’t die, it committed suicide. F

        For decades now, PR firms are taking the best talent who want to make 'real' money twisting our minds around. I think Studs Terkel wrote book about this. I remember Alternative Radio covering growth of PR firms before Iraq War (1st one.)

        I can see how this has been trending over the years but what really put this over the edge was the Clintons destroying any vestige of the Dem Party as the oppo party to the elites & journos marched in line w/them. The Clinton Effect everything they touch turns to absolute shit.
