Quick Thought

Observing the pace and rapidity with which paleo-journalistic articles are fact-checked and destroyed is breathtaking. From columnists to line reporters, many stories reported as news are a mere house of cards when placed under the strict scrutiny of the net's DI [distributive intelligence]. This confirms, albeit in an anecdotal fashion only, that the people who enter journalism via the J-school method are some of the stupidest people on the planet. An indepth review of curriculum and syllabi to ascertain the substantive knowledge and rigor imparted by way of a J-degree is in order. If I'm correct, then we may conclude with complete equanimity that this is a thoroughly useless degree.
