Journalism is a "dead parrot." It is not "pining for the fjords" (nor the fnords, for that matter). It is passed. It has joined the Choir Invisible.

It had a good run when actual reporters with HS educations before the 1960s did most of the work, but then English departments found they could teach "Journalism" as only writing, and gradually lazy Leftist (BIRM) privileged douches began getting most of the jobs, and the real profession died.

Now what is called journalism is merely mostly poorly written and even more poorly thought out boosterism for extreme Leftist causes.

The MSM can't die soon enough. I hope the NYT is not only crippled by the apparent coming strike, but that all associated with die slow, painful, lingering professional deaths.

At some point, when the police are told to stand down and criminals are allowed free-reign, there comes a force to fill in that vacuum. Militia, professional bodyguard/security firm, or gangs themselves offering protection... the market has a way of sorting these things out. At some point, a business will either fold-up shop or pay someone to stop the crime.
