American Thinker: Chris Cillizza of CNN sent one of the most unintentionally hilarious posts into the Twittersphere when he proudly displayed his new (and ugly) sweater that read “America Needs Journalists.”
Apart from the obvious tone-deafness of the message being sent at a time when most American would gladly trade the entire CNN staff for a single grocery store worker, trucker, medic, or just about anything else, this intrepid CNN American hero stumbled upon a sentiment that conservatives can fully get behind. America does need journalists. Too bad we have so few of them.
Irony is never quite as thick as when journalists are preening about themselves, fretting about Democracy dying in darkness or patting themselves on the back for their extreme courage and manifest importance. For today’s journalists who follow the Acosta/Cillizza model, why report on a story when you can make yourself one? read more

Dear Diary, America needs me. Why can’t they see that? I’m important. If not for me, how would ignorant Americans know what to think?
“Does America need journalists?”
Yes, but we have none.
The rear side of the sweater had a question, FOR WHAT?
The U.S. has lots and lots of journalists. I’m not using that hijacked word the way the hijackers do: to mean people who write or speak about current events. I’m using the word to include everybody who writes a blog or comments on sites such as iOTWreport. We’re ALL journalists now!
We also have a quite a number of people reporting on current events, even some who are fairly objective. Unfortunately, none of these seem to be working for the
MSMpartisan propaganda organs. But we do have some mighty fine citizenjournalistsreporters, and I’m damned grateful for them.Of course we need journalists, there aren’t enough traitorous, self absorbed liars in the media today.😏
“Hey, you’re a journalist, right? Go down there about 25 yards and hold this target over your head, OK?”
And that’s the way it is…https://youtu.be/G5tdqojA26E
3000 MSM employees telling the same story with the same spin on the same day, as you are told to do, is not journalism. Hiding democrat lies, corruption, crimes, and scandals is not journalism. Lying about all thing Republican is not journalism.

Hint: If you have to advertise and proclaim your value to the world, then the world does not need you.
Notice our “newsreaders” are not sitting 6 ft apart?
The other night there was a “news” story that was obviously a recorded story like those things they have on utube complete with the robot voice. So no, we don’t need their “opinions” and lies.
We probably have plenty of life saving devices that expel life saving oxygen. They are in a pitched battle against journalists that suck it all up.

– Tucker Carlson
– Maria Bartiromo
– Lou Dobbs
– Katherine Herridge
– Charles Payne

Short answer, NO!
But we do need hot fries and sweet tea refills!
Re-open all the restaurants and shut down the lying criminal media!!!
No.
But we DO NEED, DESPERATELY, reporters.
Those who REPORT the news.

The problem seems to be that, like too many things today, journalists are also being produced in China or other similar People’s Republics…
