Media veterans with psychological problems?

[August]

A Denver newspaper columnist is arrested for stalking a story subject. In Cincinnati, a television reporter is arrested on charges of child molestation. A North Carolina newspaper reporter is arrested for harassing a local woman. A drunken Chicago Sun-Times columnist and editorial board member is arrested for wife beating. A Baltimore newspaper editor is arrested for threatening neighbors with a shotgun. In Florida, one TV reporter is arrested for DUI, while another is charged with carrying a gun into a high school. A Philadelphia news anchorwoman goes on a violent drunken rampage, assaulting a police officer. In England, a newspaper columnist is arrested for killing her elderly aunt. Unrelated incidents, or mounting evidence of that America's newsrooms have become a breeding ground for murderous, drunk, gun-wielding child molesters? Answers are elusive, but the ever-increasing toll of violent crimes committed by journalists has led some experts to warn that without programs for intensive mental health care, the nation faces a potential bloodbath at the hands of psychopathic media vets.

Think about this next time a reporter asks you for a statement...

So should we change the term 'Going Postal' to 'Going Journal'?

Going American might be more appropriate.

It's not a little suprising that there has been an increase. The number of journalists who have been sent to battlefields, places of confict and so forth has incresed in years, some have been "imbeded" into military uints. This means they see alot of this suffering close up, and people can only take so much. This also included reporters who cover murders, rapes, gun crime and so forth.

They may need to increse the amount of counseling they give to reporters

Perhaps the accusations are made up to get rid of a lot of journalists? I'm not knowing any facts, but isn't that the possibility in the post-9/11 States?

Kind of a odd leap of logic. We've also had a whole slew of stories about returning veterans with dire psychological problems. I guess that means there's a conspiracy to rid ourselves of the military too.

Naw, they're all guilty, every one.
