by the second quarter of the twentieth century one in nine German doctors was a Jew, and one in six lawyers. There were also above-average numbers of Jews working as newspaper editors, journalists, theatre directors and academics.

Anti-Semitism, then, was sometimes nothing more than the envy of under-achievers.

The New Democrats were more like journalists and academics than traditional political types, more inclined to be polite than tough.

What has changed in modern times, however, is that the media, the so-called fourth estate made up of America's best and brightest journalists, are no longer trusted. Sadly that leaves the American people with no one to rely on: not the politicians; not the media. Nature may abhor a vacuum, but political systems abhor a vacuum of trust even more. If we don't find someone to fill it, someone who can unify the country behind the truth, then that vacuum will be filled for us.
~ Glenn Beck
Journalists are out to trap me with my underwear showing.

Following sporadic reports of intelligence officials misleading Congress about surveilling U.S. citizens - even spying on journalists and political figures and their staffs - there was a series of red flags in 2016 and 2017 that should have drawn attention and action.

~ Fareed Zakaria
An administration that really wanted to win an ideological contest with the Chinese Communist Party would stand up for human rights consistently, rather than calling journalists anywhere 'the enemy of the people.'
~ Tom Malinowski
At the 'Times,' all journalists on every subject followed the same rules and were supposed to meet the same standards, so I never really thought about fashion writing as being in a bubble.
~ Suzy Menkes

According to Babette, 98.3 percent of lawyers end up in Hell. That's in contrast to the 23 percent of farmers who are eternally damned.

Perhaps a trace number of politicians ascend to Heaven, but statistically speaking, 100 percent of them are cast into the fiery pit. As are essentially 100 percent of journalists and redheads.
~ Chuck Palahniuk

~ Chuck Palahniuk
