Does this mean that the majority of journalists these days are men?

I don't know, I'm confused.

But probably I can pick a journalist and be accurate more often than a woman could, but I'll also suspect more non-journalists of journalism (because I'm more likely to tend toward being a journalist myself).

See?

Ahhh, all men are ice cream.

Nope, totally true, apparently it has been around for ages that only blind people can be masseurs (like... 1,000 years) as a measure to protect their livelihood. Disabled people don't really get any assistance or care here so I guess it gives them one thing to live for...

Looks like he was found dead... In a field.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/story ... 39,00.html

Why does the entire story revolve around the premise that "Dad took Xbox away directly results in Boys death". Objective journalism or brilliant fiction read? You can't fucking do both you morons. The are probably omitting the part where the boys meth supplier cut him off the week before and he got sodomized by the boy scouts for not providing.
