We’ll start where all journalism starts—on the cover of Parade magazine.
Our award-winning work will appear at this site. For a high-ranking preview, click here.
The Clinton's make too much money they don't really earn.
ReplyDeleteLet's see, the Clintons make a lot of money and don't ruin people's lives. CEOs make a lot of money and do ruin people's lives, to the tune of giving themselves bonuses for crashing the economy.
DeleteThe list of people who don't earn their money is very long. The Clintons are nowhere near the top of that list. To single them out ahead of the others is to have an idiotic agenda.
Yes, but this blog is about journalism and the post is about rich ones. The Clintons are a rich family with a journalist.
DeleteKind of like the Bush, Gore and the Boggs/Roberts families
of Sam and Cokie fame.
So when you said "the Clintons", you meant just one of them?
DeleteYou have even less reason to single out "the Clintons" in a list of overpaid journalists than a list of overpaid people in general.
When journalists make a lot of money it makes it harder to do a good job. Is the same true of the Clintons?
DeleteI think they earn every penny. How would you like to be vilified for a living?
ReplyDeleteIt takes a vilification to enrich your only child.
DeleteWell, there are two ways to be vilified. You can either deserve it by being an utter dumbass in a very important position, or you can not deserve it by simply having a nationally known name and doing something to make conservatives mad, like stating obvious fact.
DeleteHow may of those people deserve to be millionaires?
"Let's see, the Clintons make a lot of money and don't ruin people"s lives. CEOs make a lot of money and do ruin people's lives..."
DeleteAs far as who ruins lives, or wants to, I think steeve might have forgotten to include yesteryear's Field Marshal Albright types and those among today's "real humanitarians wanted to throw gasoline on the fire in Syria months ago" crowd.
I'm still trying to get over the perception by some that The Today Show has anything to do with journalism.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Matt Lauer spends more time choosing what fedoras to wear on his various outdoor appearances than on anything to do with actual news.
I wonder if Bob wore a fedora with a card labeled "Press" in the band while writing Op-Ed's for the Baltimore paper.
DeleteHear, hear, if someone is not reading what you've written off of a broadsheet they purchased with a nickel next to the stairs at a subway stop then you're not doing real journalism.
DeleteI might get my panties in a wad like Bob has over this preview of Houses of Journalist County if it featured a journalist.
ReplyDeleteInstead we get a former journalist turned talk and game show host.
And it is not clear from the article if the home is hers or the inheritance of her husband.
Why are you pretending that this series is about one person?
DeleteBecause Bob is pretending he is previewing a journalist?
DeleteIt is about one person.
DeleteShe likes the Cape because it's scruffy. So down to earth.
ReplyDeleteI am crossing my fingers in hopes Amanda Ripley made the cut for the mansion tour.
