Journalism Defined
jour·nal·ism \'jern-el-iz-em\ n (1833) 2 b: writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or descriptions of events without an attempt at interpretation.

-- Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary

If Jeff Gannon says one more time that he's a journalist, I believe that he would be lying again.

2. But this is REGIME JOURNALISM
See, left is right, up is down, wrong is right, lies are truth. Shilling=journalism in the present regime's mindset. We are just empty vessels, waiting to be filled from the fountain of their wisdom. Assimilate, obey, incorporate....or you will be eliminated!!!!!

4. And so are all the other

MSM "journalists!" (lying, that is)

In my book, the "journalist" term no longer applies to those in the MSM (AKA, corporate media). I refer to them as "MSM propogandists" to those I don't want to offend and "corporate media whores" to my friends.
