It's really no wonder the public holds journalists in such low esteem
I wonder why do so few good, decent people enter the journalistic profession? Or is that just the case here in America, where the majority are clearly vicous misanthropes or incompetent fools? I guess if we want to look for heroes in this profession, we'll have to look at African or Midle-eastern reporters risking their lives exposing brutality and corruption in dictatorial regimes, or similar situations elsewhere. and I'm not sure what to make of the amazingly foolhardy behaviour of some of the American and European reporters in Aghanistan.
