The last time the "journalist" crowd cried out like this it was ~5 years ago when someone asked them if they owned or knew anyone who owned a Ford F-150 (the best selling car in America for 40+ years).
Holy shit, did they nuke every tweet he's ever made?
Yep.
Some rich people made some phone calls saying "I've got one who can see!" and poof, gone.
Looks like if you talk about journalists with billion-dollar inheritances, you get banned
The real power in the world isn't being rich and famous, it's being rich and anonymous.
Reporting changed to journalism when college-indoctrinated creeps began infiltrating the profession, replacing the typical reporter who was a literate working-class guy. His editors were also from the school of hard knocks, usually former beat reporters with lots of competent work behind them.
The owners and editors-in-chief were the rich political climbers, the ones currying favor with the powerful. Of course, the dailies of the major cities were the ones with their noses furthest up the asses of politicians while the owners of Podunk papers schmoozed with their local gentry and town politicians/wealthy merchants, and their reporters dreamed, Luther Gibbs like (See "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken"), about a move to the Big Town.
