Nowadays a reporter is either unemployed or a prostitute.
- French philosopher Alain Soral
As you can see, I am not employed in this field.
More or less by choice. I have worked in the field before. I was a proofreader at an academic journal publishing house for a year and then I was assistant editor at a major computer magazine for another year. I also freelanced a bit. I really do not like the field very much though, and I have no desire to get a 9-5 in such a disgusting line of work, and my health more or less prevents it anyway. I haven’t even been looking for work in the field for many, many years. I think the last time I was looking for journalism work was around 1987.
From the Saker:
The very nature of the modern corporate media is such that it makes journalists corrupt. This is not to say that most journalists are on the take. In the West this is mostly done in a more subtle way – by making it clear which ideas do or do not pass the editorial control, by lavishly rewarding those journalists who ‘get it’ and by quietly turning away those who don’t.
If a journalist or reporter commits the crime of “crimethink” he or she will be sidelined and soon out of work.
There is no real pluralism in the West where the boundaries of what can be said or not are very strictly fixed.
I have worked and been around this field for some time now, and let me assure you that this is true. If you go to work for a major paper, newsmagazine or TV or radio news channel and refuse to tow the party line on every story that is political, you are going to be fired. That’s all there is to it. If you do not get it immediately and start writing party line style from the day you show up, they will give you a bit of a chance. You will write a few stories that deviate from the party line and your editor, who frankly is a CIA asset, will hand them back to you angrily full of red marks crossing every other sentence out with lots of exclamation points and comments more or less calling you a freak, a nut or an idiot. The editor will give it back to you, and he will have a very angry, even menacing look on his face. All of the other reporters that you work with will be party line guys. All of your political conversations will be party line. If you have views that go outside the party line, the other reporters will first look at you like you are nuts, and then they will simply shun you from their cliques. Soon they will begin to actively sabotage your work and there will be a conspiracy on the part of your coworkers to get you fired. The editors of course will go along with this.
With those first few stories handed back full of red ink and angry comments, you are supposed to “get it.” If you are stupid and you don’t figure out the game, soon you will be sidelined or even very quickly and viciously fired.
The field of Journalism in the US is as corrupt as they come. It is said that 89% of US reporters are “liberals,” but don’t let that fool you. That may be true, but I assure you that there is nothing whatsoever liberal about these people, except maybe on PC Identity Politics lifestyle issue garbage. Another thing to note that is that many journalists are quite highly paid. Salaries o9f 75-100,000/year are not uncommon. Folks like that have class interests that align with the upper middle class, the bourgeois and the ruling class. I assure you that on economic issues, they are not liberal in any way, shape or form.
As far as rewarding disgusting pussy suck-up girlie men, that is the same as in any stupid corporate environment. Sure, the reporters that get it quickly and start towing the party line are favored and get rewarded. I cannot tell you what those rewards are except an assurance that you will not be fired. I also believe that they will tend to be promoted. Other than that, I have no knowledge of what sort of rewards they might get.
Oh, one more thing I might add for you straight men. The field of Journalism is absolutely swarming with male homosexuals. Yes, there are also a lot of often attractive women, but you are also negotiating in a sea full of gay sharks. I was once fired from a journalism position by a fag editor for refusing to suck his dick. No lie.
