“We need fewer activists in our newsrooms, and more journalists.”

We need zero activists in newsrooms and all real journalists. We need zero activist judges and all real jurists. We need zero activists in education and all real educators. We need to reduce the industry of activism and replace it with real enterprise and industrialism where people make, grow and fix real things instead of peddling grievance for cash.

As Noam Chomsky once pointed out to a BBC reporter years ago - that reporter would never been hired if he believed something different from what his bosses wanted! Hiring graduates from journalism school will not get a representative perspective! The greatest living American Investigative Reporter Seymour Hersch was from the working class! As a rule these reporters despised elites because they knew they lied about everything all the time! Start hiring these kind of skeptical people and maybe main steam media can recover some respectability! Of course they won't because the people who hire and fire are true believers! A cult if there ever was one but the thing about cults is - their members can't recognize that they're in one! Thank you Tara for daring to break free and go your own way! I applaud your courage and hope you can continue your good work! There's no money in it but I bet you sleep better at night!
