Wow! Apparently the Wall Street Journal has now succumbed to playing the victim.

    From the article: "You’ve been working very hard to pay off this debt and we admire your fortitude. But these shocks seem like a long time ago to us in a newsroom." That is because those of you in the newsroom acted like what Ben Rhodes of the Obama administration described you as. "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.”

    This is the second article this week that reminded me of Rearden's tumblers clicking into place.

      I didnt realize the former respected profession of journalism had fallen that far and sunk that low. The line from the Clancy book "Why should I trust you you are a reporter" really hit home again. Add to that the education system.

      I could recite the list but in short, why are we flushing money down the toilet trying to educate completely unqualified students who could not, I'm sure, pass the First Grade, test of that 8th grade example recently posted. Worse why are we treating their educators as honorable and decent professionals worthy of taking charge of our children? They are very clearly no better than Clancy's example of a 'a reporter.'
