2. Fact is, most of these people were picked & groomed for these jobs since

they were 18 years old. They get talent spotted by teachers, recommended for internships, prove they're part of the team as entry-level scut boyz and girlz, and then given big salaries to carry out assignments that are handed to them by editors and publishers who are nothing more or less than corporate executives.

Journalism is an industry that's owned by the same companies that make gasoline and credit cards, which are ultimately run by oil sheikhs and international bankers, who make the big decisions. Everyone on the payroll serves at their will. Same thing with Congress.

Is it any mystery that almost all these Inside-the-Beltway Biggies think and act alike?
