More support for disbanding J-schools

Even foreigners are wondering "who are these people?"

As much as I respect some journalists and reporters, even some j-school professors, I think that their problems come from the idea that journalism is a profession, like doctor or lawyer, with special ethics. The problem with that is that journalism doesn't have any authority to rule on who can practice it. If it did, it would probably violate the First Amendment. What would the criteria, other than a J-school degree, be for admission?

Such attitudes tend to create a divide between the members and the public. The members perform for the approval of their fellow members. They end up being warped to the point that people wonder how you get to be so ignorant, arrogant and biased.
