He’s confused as to why journalism is treated like a real profession when there are no certifications, licenses, or qualifications - of any kind whatsoever - required. It’s a fake job that deserves no respect or special privileges of any kind.
It’s not like the media systems that do require licensing are any better. They’re often worse. Your best shot is usually finding several individual curators, commentators, and journalists that you like and paying attention to them/checking them against each other. And I’d imagine most of the halfway decent guys aren’t licensed in any way, nor are they typically the product of journalism schools.
