<<To even be considered for employment at the Times, a reporter candidate often needs:

1. Orthodox socialist/politically correct views on … everything;

2. A bachelor's degree from an Ivy League school or an OPU (overpriced, private university) equivalent, e.g., NYU;

3. A master's degree in journalism, preferably from Columbia University; and

4. A storied career at a daily newspaper<<

What's cool is Drudge had NONE of these qualifications, and knocked the mainstream press on its ear with the Lewinsky scoop.

And as "citizen-reporters" the plain old common folk on FR can be as effective, or moreso, than these frauds.
