Who cares about journalists. They can go back to dog grooming for all I care.
Regurgitating press releases without even checking the facts in them does not make you a journalist. Mark and Ted are both journalists, they look at things like the numbers behind IL’s “balanced budget” and prove it’s not, whereas the people at the Tribune repeat the talking point from JB that “we have a balanced budget.”
Thanks, I guess, though I’m not sure we can be categorized as journalists. Don’t know exactly what the.hell we are. Wall Street Journal handled that by calling us a “policy outfit,” which seems as good as anything.
I like naysayers and haters, which is what jabba would call you.
“Fringe and apocalyptic” was good, too, which is what Mendoza said about us.
