Can't believe we had a Russian plant in office and there are brainwashed traitors that want him back in

Absolutely. Sometimes parents meddle too much in their child's school life. It's ok to supervise what your child's been doing and whatnot, but for god's sake let the teachers handle how and what they teach in class. And I get it, there are some wacko teachers and they need a constant reminder of their job, but there are really good ones who have become so frustrated with all the nags! As if the school's pressure and the workload wasn't enough :(

This thread is about disrespecting professions. I don't know about all the other countries but here in Europe they get our respect. I will punch anyone in the face who disrespects these fantastic people.

Grew up on a small farm. The work never stops.

There are too many scientists. On my Facebook wall alone, I have dozens of virologists, who have also just become specialists in wars and geopolitics.

… which is a shame because we really need proper journalism… the kind that seeks to uncover and lay bare the truth.

Serious journalists deserve a lot of respect.

We need more Woodward and Bernstein's.

Jounalists should report the news, not create it.

Yeah having network news sensationalize everything just for ratings, has made it so journalism which is supposed to be done with by getting the truth and with integrity, seems like a joke now.

I still respect journalists. I do not respect fear-mongers, hate-dealers, lie-spreaders, paranoia-spouters, self-aggrandizing idiots or paparazzi to the rich and famous.

And sites like this is a major reason why. You too can be a ‘writer’ by posting from other websites verbatim, often without attribution and with absolutely zero input. Used to be called plagiarism, now there are entire websites based on the idea.

A lot of journalists are also killed every year for doing their jobs.

Well, there is still journalism practiced as it should be, but it has shrunk a great deal under the growth of talking heads just seeking hits or viewers at the expense of information and truth.

I think it's due three reasons. A lot (maybe mostly) is due to political posturing by political leaders and some to a "kill the messenger' attitude that many people have. Some... SOME... of the loss of respect is on journalists. Not all... not most. Some situations, like when 60 Minutes rigged auto rollovers because they couldn't reproduce the results they claimed would happen naturally, are a reason why. Then there's the fact that a lot of journalists are less than politically objective and not shy about their leanings. TMI! As long as I get the facts and not just selective ones, I don't care about your opinion. It's not needed.

the main reason? Editorials. Opinions have no place in journalism.

Journalists did this to themselves...

So why didn't you post an image of a CNN Reporter. Your liberal a$$ had no problem showing an image of Trump for the #1 spot. Figures.

They did it to themselves. No sympathy for that occupation at all.

Ronald Reagan's FCC abolished the "Fairness Doctrine of 1949" which required both sides' opinions to be reported. Basically, this was so that viewers or readers could make up their own minds from the facts presented in the media. Factual journalism died that day.

Depends on the kind of journalist - War reporters, anchor wo/men etc. have dignitiy. Game- and movie journalists on the other hand are often social justice activists that don't bother on content quality but all the "issues" a medium has. (Kotaku, Vice, etc.)

When paparazzo are included in the ranks of journalists, the profession loses a great deal of credibility.

Because the journalists living in ur tume deserve no respect.

I think every municipality should have to set money aside to help fund their local news. The municipality should also have no say in what the journalists can and can't publish as long as they have proof. Aka no meddling. I believe it would pay for itself by essentially paying journalists accountable to their community to find and expose corruption, so the law can take the criminals to task. Versus having to wait years and years for embezzlement to come to light.

Well, they USED TO report facts. And before everyone thinks they're clever with replying with the whole "Fox News! Fox News!" (which I don't even watch/listen to/read), let's give a shout out to CNN, who is hiring a new news chief (because apparently NOONE at CNN can keep it in their pants) sees the desperate need to get rid of the huge and obvious liberal slant. https://www.axios.com/cnn-chris-licht-liberal-partisanship-31511ffe-747f-45c3-88dd-026ecf535224.html

Journalists are treated with the same respect they show the truth.

A good portion is due to all the social media "stars" and bloggers that believe their unresearched and unfounded opinions is journalism. The portion of the public that cannot tell the difference ruined it for real, trained journalists.

wait for what? why is it disrespected?

You can thank Fox and Sky for that

People who hate on true journalists are ignorant pieces of crap

One problem is that too many comment on the news, instead of just reporting it. CNN is very guilty of this. I assume others are, but CNN is what I watch. I am tired of the snide comments and eye rolling.

A stand up philosopher is a better career path. I wonder who will get the reference?

And the crazy people are joining, which is why police are disrespected.

They(the Catholic Church)did it to themselves by sweeping things under the rug and paying hush money for decades.

If you can get a really good one that does their research they are worth so much. Sadly most of them just book easy stuff so you might was well do it yourself.

Lawyers are great, but you have to admit the big, blaring "I will sue anyone for you" billboards don't give a very nice look into the profession.

Tucker Carlson is the the embodiment of what wrong with the news

I emailed my HR lady last week. I know she’s insanely busy but I got no reply, so I asked her if she received it. She said, very irritably: “oh, no, we never read your emails.” 🙃 not sure why I deserve that cause I only email them like 3 times a year about tiny routine things that I’m required to do. I unfortunately told her to her face “weird flex but okay” and she didn’t like that 😂 (pray for me)

WHERES THE LAMB SAUCE

what about dinosaur trainers or pirates?

This is explained quite well!

That sounds awful. Not helped by a*****e celebrity chefs that give the impression that all chefs are entitled, arrogant dickheads allowed to throw tantrums and abuse people.

My husband is an airline steward for one of the major airlines. People that fly have become rude, abusive, confrontational, physically attack staff, defy and ignore rules

They were called spinsters because they worked spinning wool, if anyone's confused.
