GUEST,Fantasma Any old ex-hacks out there? (83* d) RE: Any old ex-hacks out there? 18 May 08


One of my dearest writer friends has a saying I wholeheartedly agree with: "journalists don't have friends, they have contacts".

Rather explains it all right there as far as I'm concerned.

Ditto the clergy, lawyers, and politicians.

Of course there are always exceptions to the rule. But that just proves the rule.

No problem in my world painting entire "professions" (or job classifications, if you prefer) as loathsome, particularly when it is their mission to feed off misery for personal gain.

That is pretty much the job description for clergy, lawyers, politicians, and yes, journalists.

I find it nearly impossible that I am in agreement with Teribus. But there you have it.
