I'm getting real pissed at these shock jock wanna be journalist.

They are all over. Especially on Fox.

I can tell the advertising department is writing their stuff for them. These idiots are called journalist, but they haven't made real bones. They haven't had to set down and think about the morals of reporting on a story. The consequences of reporting it.

Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein had to before turning in the Watergate scandal story. The People deserved to know the facts and they knew they were setting on a can of flesh eating worms. But they did their jobs and made sure they doted the "I's" and crossed the "T's".

But we have shock jocks backed by the ad department. It makes my stomach curl. And knowing there are people out there that truly believe these posers are real journalist makes me want to rip my hair out!

Ok, rant over.
