Jah Lush Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I found this quote tapped to a PC when I was freelancing at the Press Association more than ten years ago. I do not know who it is attributable to but it pretty much sums up my feelings towards tabloid journalists."Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuck-offs and misfits - a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo cage."
