Yet another thread on this forum showing how the journalism industry has gone into the toilet.

Actually, I think I saw Hillary's campaign in one of them ...

When I read the topic, I was sure it was a thread about working for CNHI!

The fact that this thread -- with a headline sure to draw in concerned journalists, and accompanied by a provocative photo that could potentially elicit great anger around these parts -- has registered more than 400 views but only five replies just shows how beaten down people are.

Hardly anyone, apparently, even knows what to say about it -- an unusual, and, in my book, very sobering occasion. Especially considering the business we're in.

It's not a good sign.

Man (grunting in stall): Who do you work for?
Reporter: Excuse me?
Man (still grunting in stall): Who do you work for?
Reporter: Oh, the Austin-American Statesman.

Could tell if that was funny or sad. Maybe both.

I've got about 20 bouncing around my head at the moment, starting with the obvious one about treating reporters like **** and the media getting pissed on again.

I actually applied for an internship there once.
