re: #4 Eclectic Cyborg

I have a journalism degree. I chose that field because I love to write, I love to investigate and I love hunting down the truth behind an incident.

I weep for what this profession has become. Doesn’t matter if it’s newspaper, television news, blog, news website, news radio. It’s all propaganda driven crap.

The truth has no home anymore. It’s been replaced with accusations, assumptions, strawman arguments, religious bias and just outright false statements (the complete opposite of what real journalism should be).

I still dream of being writer, but I’m not sure I want to be a journalist.

I often say that after J-school, I chose the more honorable profession of advertising, where there are still some requirements for telling the truth.
