Newsflash: Journalists Are Idiots!

# So here's an interesting piece of news, largely ignored journalists for some strange reason...

![journalist idiots.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdrPiZJ2K28xSKgZQq9xaCE7a5c7pbzePT2nhNpvk7tVz/journalist%20idiots.png)

# Apparently, Journalists might well be at the lower end of the cognitive spectrum.  Who would have thought it? What with their diligent research and painstaking efforts to understand nuanced and subtle current issues from all perspectives.

# However I do wonder where they found all these journalists. They're a very rare species nowadays. For example I'm only aware of one currently operating in the UK, a Mr. Julian Assange who is currently residing in the Ecuadorian embassy. Sadly the rest of the profession has been usurped by robotic corporate propagandists parroting globalist propaganda...

There are exceptions, but my firsthand experience with journalists is that they are lazy and not prone to dig for a story. Seymour Hersh and Glenn Greenwald are the exception to this rule of course.

Most journalists have a narrative in mind before writing up a story. They are often hard-pressed to let the facts take them to anything other than that pre-ordained narrative.
