I've worked in newsrooms and I've worked in general labor.

I was shocked to see how much money these NY based writers got paid for sitting around all day doing relatively nothing.

This is not about true hard journalism, this is about ragebait writers and bloggers at NY media
They'd do a group call in the morning and then talk about stories they like

Some would write 5 articles per day and would be done in a few minutes.

God damn, I used to lift 50,000 lbs. per day loading planes and I made 10$/h
We were responsible for peoples safety, de-icing planes, properly filling out load manifests.

This hard labor meant people got injured relatively often
Then several years later here I am working in media laughing my ass off at how LITTLE these people do.

My god, sitting around drinking coffee arguing about how they feel.

Many of them are alcoholics and many have cocaine problems
I think we need to get some laborers to teach the NY elite class what real work is.

Again, to those doing hard investigations this isnt about you. I worked with real journalists too and I feel bad they get dragged by the ragebait writers
