It's such an embarrassment. When WaPo first put up their tagline "democracy dies in darkness" my eyeballs just about rolled out of my skull. I was such a news nerd growing up I literally cried when Katherine Graham died and then again when the family sold the Post to Bezos. Journalism has never been as noble as some would like to believe, yellow journalism that started the Spanish american war built the treasure chests that fund the Pulitzer prizes now. But when I was young I was full of romantic notions about being a journalist. I'm glad someone at the Post brought me back down to reality and gave me the good advice to avoid the industry!
