Some of our best journalists take themselves even more seriously than the politicians they write about.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
They take journalism really seriously because they know the force that it is and can be.
Journalists can get very pompous, especially in the formalized days of 'Meet the Press,' when they took themselves so damned seriously.
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.
The fact is, most journalists I know are not particularly political. They move around a lot.
You know I take music seriously, right? So I expect journalists to take being a journalist seriously.
The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on, rather than to their supposed antagonisms.
Journalists don't have audiences - they have publics who can respond instantly and globally, positively or negatively, with a great deal more power than the traditional letters to the editor could wield.
Not all journalists are really journalists. They ask such stupid questions sometimes, especially the newer ones, and because... these people can't tell if you're joking around, you just can't have any sense of humour; you really can't.
There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.
Most journalists are idiots.
