Too Many Journalists Are Scumbags

Yes, it's a small sample size.  No, it's not a very scientific study.  But reality doesn't matter to too many journalists, they only care about their narrative.  Since turnabout is fair play, let's see what this study had to say about journalists:

Journalists' brains show a lower-than-average level of executive functioning, according to a new study, which means they have a below-average ability to regulate their emotions, suppress biases, solve complex problems, switch between tasks, and show creative and flexible thinking.

Sounds about right to me, so it must be right.

The results showed that journalists' brains were operating at a lower level than the average population, particularly because of dehydration and the tendency of journalists to self-medicate with alcohol, caffeine, and high-sugar foods.

Don't sound very intelligent, these journalists.

Compared with bankers, traders, or salespeople, journalists showed that they were more able to cope with pressure. Traits that make journalism a stressful profession are deadlines, accountability to the public, unpredictable and heavy workloads, public scrutiny, repercussions on social media, and lower pay.

The results, however, showed that the journalists were on average no more physically stressed than the average person. The blood tests showed that their levels of cortisol — known as the stress hormone — were mostly normal.

So, they're just drama queens.

Drawing wild conclusions about large groups of people based on a tiny sample, that may or may not be representative, is fun!

Update:  That they didn't get the joke shows journalists aren't very bright, either.  Perhaps that's why they became journalists for a living.
