Journalists drink too much, are bad at managing emotions, and operate at a lower level than average, according to a new study
| http://www.businessinsider.com/journalists-brains-function-at-a-lower-level-than-average-2017-5 This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. |
| It's the alcohol that's to blame for the most part. |
 |
| And these are the people we trust to give us the truth? I can't find any problem with it, the less intelligent, the less probable to lie. |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
| What's new, journalist always drank too much, the hard nosed, hard drinking, grizzled reporter wearing a fedora and trenchcoat is an icon. |
| Yeah you try reporting on the fucked up news and try and not drink lol |

| so basically this bitch was drunk writing this article too? |
| Looks like I have a career in journalism to look forward to. But yeah i smell bullshit. |
| The actual article, after we get past the headline, says the following: 1) It's a small study. 2) It's not yet peer reviewed. 3) They scored below average in 2 areas, and well above in 2 others. Their overall functioning is not below average. In particular, they deal with pressure better than most. 4) The negative aspects are largely attributable to lifestyle issues (lack of sleep, mild dehydration, and too much coffee and booze all affect the brain). The article and thread titles take a statement from the study, rip it out of context, and then pretends the rest was never written. One more reason to always read the full article. |
| Well, You can't be too bright if you willing go into a Warzone to chase a story. Tee Hee! |
