Anybody can be a reporter to be honest. Just have a decent command of the written word(grammar, spelling, etc), and you can be a journalist. Remember that FEMA press conference about the California wildfires? The FEMA plants asked questions that were no different than what the morons in the mainstream media would have asked, but the members of the media fumed over it. THe media is full of morons. Just look at Foxsports.com sportswriters and those fantasy football writers. They just state the obvious. Although I have to give Adam Shein of Foxsports.com his due for once. He did predict a huge Pats- Skins blowout. The whole thing about getting a degree in Journalism is a big waste of time. Some of the best writers today do not have a Journalism degree. Sally Jenkins is proof of that. She probably has a degree to get into the Post, but isn't very original in her reporting or writing. There lies the problem, no originality at all, which is so commonplace with todays reporters/newspeople.
