Quote O' Teh Day

Patrick Sullivan reminds journalists what their job is. Well, somebody has to.
If the journalist looks like an asshole, get over it. It is our job to look like assholes. We are professional assholes. We get paid to be rude. In order to expose the truth.

    Oh come on Patrick Sullivan, wake up. There are very few professional journalists anymore. The ones who know their eat and contacts so well that they can push (and ask tough questions) are a thing of the past. I don't agree with the argument that someone needs to be an asshole to get their job done. Surgeons in the operating room have been trying that excuse for decades. They need to be knowledgeable and credible and know how to do their research. The asshole bit is just an excuse.
