Atlantic Guy Continues To Mansplain Why It’s OK To Work For Free
Well, well, well. First, let us all take a step back and appreciate exactly where we are right now: we are in a place wherein paying people for their work has become a topic worthy of debate and discussion. Let’s just let that soak in for a second: paying people for their work has become a [...]
Guardian Rolls Out Comedy Section With Paean to Ayn Rand
What the hell is going on over at the Guardian, you might be wondering, given that they recently let former Bush speechwriter Josh Treviño post an 18-paragraph column explaining why he wrote a 23-word tweet, over a year ago, that expressed nonchalance at the idea of the IDF killing novelist Alice Walker? (Hint: it has [...]
Wall Street Journal Has New Theory About Alternate Economies, Universes, That Is Not Stupid at All
It is very confusing to keep up with conservative economic talking points philosophy, because one minute they’re all “deficits don’t matter!” and then a couple years later they turn around and decide that deficits will ruin the U.S. economy, unless the deficit came from tax cuts for the wealthy job creators, in which case they [...]
Typo Changes Everything We Know About Obama, Despite Being Typo

National Press Club Suspends Journalist For Questioning Saudis
Hey kids, do you want to grow up to be a journalist?

Fox News Tells ‘Corporate Jet Owners Are The Real Victims’ Side of Story

Automatically, this means that Fox News must do a story on [...]
No Word if Reporter Imprisoned In Closet At Biden Event Stripped Naked

Wall Street Journal Going To End This Wisconsin Standoff Itself
Times are tough for journalists covering the standoff over collective bargaining in Wisconsin. Just how many days in a row are you supposed to write this “There are still protests and the state senators are still floating on a lazy river at some hotel in Illinois” story? The protestors and the legislators may be able [...]
Lying Warmonger Judith Miller Blasts Assange For Not Verifying Info
Disgraced Newsmax “reporter” (government neo-con lie re-spewer) Judith Miller is also on Fox News, it turns out, because they hire commentators based on how many war crimes they’re responsible for. (Even though nobody on Fox & Friends can understand what Genghis Khan is saying.) According to Miller, who yes, blindly spread the lies given her [...]

Journalists Can Sing, Too!
Journopalooza is an event happening this Friday in here in DC where journalists will get together and sing to raise money for THEMSELVES, which isn’t nearly as good as, say, raising money for starving kids in Africa, but whatever, because supporting journalists is fun! As the fine art that is journalism dies and dies and [...]
