The term "Journalist" has become like the word "Awesome" it doesn't seem to mean quite what it use to.

At one time a herd of 300,000 buffalo stretching from horizon to horizon was awesome, but now it's "that booger is awesome", or "this bubble gum is awesome".

It use to be a Journalist was someone like H. L. Mencken, Edward R. Murrow, or Bob Woodward, but now it's anyone who can string a bunch of words together, and gets
a name tag printed up:

. . I ARE A JOURNALIST !

Haha, that was awesome! Oops. If anything, these online bloggers and webzines are more yellow journalism than anything else (believe it was called yellow journalism because it was printed on cheap paper that quickly turned yellow). There was once a time that the journalism media *reported* the news, not *make* the news. There also used to be fact and grammatical checking. Now, it is just whatever whoever wants to blow out their rear end that day.
