Dozens of journalism professors and working journalists signed an open letter to Fox News heads Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch on Thursday, bashing the network’s coverage of the coronavirus pandemic as a “danger to public health.”

Since when has the mainstream media and its shills been concerned about (their) fake news about the president?

“Professor”: One who professes to be knowledgeable about a particular matter. Also referred to as a bullsh*tter, bloviator and windbag.

Letters don’t have any appreciable effect on the public.
Thanks for outing yourself though.

None of these professors have ever watched FoxNews and will admit it with great pride, like it’s an accomplishment.

“Jouranlism schools” are what Home Economics courses used to be, before Feminism hit the scene. An easy “course” for those who couldn’t quite cut it in the Liberal Arts classes.

“false statements downplaying the prevalence of COVID-19”

In other words FNC has not joined the effort to get a Nationwide shut down ordered setting up mail voting.

All too often “idiot” and “professor” are one in the same.

I have to look up journalism. I think the definition has changed dramatically.

Me, too. What a bunch of turds. They have no credibility left and their reporting appeals only to die-hard leftists, communists, socialists and fascists.

To wit, I just saw an article that says another 800 journalists are losing their jobs due to the lockdown.

Ha ha, losers. Looks like it’s time to find a real job, because your job ain’t coming back when this lockdown ends.

To quote the black messiah, Barry Obama, welcome to the new normal.

“Journalism Professor” has to be a finalist for inclusion into the top five oxymorons of all time.

No use giving examples and reasons. The media has beclowned itself so many times during the first quarter of this year that anyone even giving them a one second listen has wasted a second of their precious time.

Shove it, media.. You are regarded with the same disdain as our congresscritters.

My garbage man is valuable to me and I regard him as a saint.
You are worthless to me an I would not shed a tear at your demise.

It’s twitchy VIP access in your article link. If you can, post one of the tweets so we can see the thread on twitter. I’d like to harass some journalism profs. Believe me, I know some journalism profs. Beating them at logic is like beating Christopher Reeve at hopscotch.
