Basically, every newspaper is becoming a Buzzfeed. THAT IS HORRIFYING.
-
Funny, isn't it, that our world needs Clark Kent a lot more than Superman.
-
I would totally watch Stoplight. The idea of a journalist fighting corruption in his own office actually isn’t bad.

"The next 10-15 years is gonna be a great time to be a corrupt politician." -David Simon

Perhaps this explains why every story I've ever tried to read on a news app is riddled with obvious smelling miscakes and sentences that make no sausages.

You either pay for journalism or you pay for not having journalism.

"I'm talking to *you*, the people that are watching this on Youtube right now." He caught me. He caught all of us. Someone help- they found us! SEND BACKUP.

There's a reason that newspapers are sometimes called the 4th estate (branch of government) - they help to check the powers of the rest.

Fuck, he was spot on with me watching this on the coffee shop wifi under my apartment.....

After rewatching so much John Oliver, my inner monologue while reading textbooks is in his voice

2 things: 1. The real living gnome is Killer Keemstar 2. The "removing vowels" article was posted on April Fool's Day

As a Journalism student, the accuracy hurts my soul

Ok but unironically I would watch a movie about an underdog journalist struggling to work on a major local story while also battling the apathy of his digitally-fixated news company.

Watching in 2021 and hearing the quote about the next years being extreme corruption hits soo close to home

This is how I became a failed journalist. I wasn't skilled nor trained enough to handle the workload. Started off as strictly a sports writer. But in no time at all, I had to become my own photographer, website writer, proofreader, photo editor...all within 40 hours and NO OVERTIME. Soon after that, when two other reporters quit, I was saddled with covering everything: news, sports, obituaries, you name it...ALL WITH NO OVERTIME. Couldn't handle the work load and got canned. It sucks. I miss that line of work.

That moment John Oliver speaks to you in your apartment...

My journalism career ended thanks to greed and incompetence from the higher ups. Now I’m using my writing skills for marketing, so I’m glad something came out of my journey. I know journalism is important, but it’s not for me anymore especially when it comes to working for those that wronged me.
