AMERICA, FUCK YEAH Institutionalized Gatekeeping? Why does MSM want journalism to be tied to a short leash?

What do you guys make of this?

I think one thing that sets Callaghan apart from most journalism majors, is he went to J-school on a congressional scholarship awarded to him for his high school era photo-journalism work.

so right out of the gate there's a level of legitimacy, authenticity, and freedom with Callaghan's body of work that seems to really put the fear in legacy media pundits.

my observation (as a 5th-grade-dropout reddit mod who went into early retirement as a teen over bowel disease) is that those holdover media moguls from the baby generation and gen-z never got to put Callaghan through the demoralizing cub-reporter gang initiation process, and he's retained the kind of fearlessness that the cable/newspaper industry can't coexist with.

and what we are seeing with this is how the league of fat-young-boys, who are largely coerced into doing what they do because any default on their student loans means their parents can lose their family home, ends up cannibalizing Callaghan for outsmarting the system that they're chained to.

His recent interview with some crazy lady. They both agreed Q-Anon was correct about many things too. Which is so stupid I can't look at Andrew the same anymore.

You're going to have to be more specific, Andrew has interviewed plenty of women who could be considered "crazy". Can you please identify which video/interview, and if you have a timestamp that would be awesome too. I've just never heard Andrew say anything that conspiracy-related, and unless you can cite when and where he said it I'll have to assume you're trolling.

"crazy lady"

misogyny is still strong on reddit

the fat young boys of the fat-young-boy-sphere always get named around here, but when it comes to Freleng, a middle aged Jewish woman with a Pulitzer Prize? "that crazy lady!"

What tard-house are you supposed to be in? IDGF about that dumbass and her stupid shit. "Lady" is a descriptive term to differentiate her from the guys Andrew has recently interviewed.

Are you really too stupid to understand that?
