Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am not one of the great journalists of my time.
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.
If you believe in journalism, you don't insult good journalists.
I try to be careful about wording. One of the things I've tried to combat in my blog is the notion that journalists are arrogant and unconcerned with the readership.
I don't trust a lot of journalists.
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.
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.
Journalists write because they have nothing to say, and have something to say because they write.
I'm not rational enough to be a good journalist.
