"To succeed in journalism means you have to join the elites in NYC or DC, you have to play the game. You have to get on Twitter and signal how journalisty you are.... comment on breaking news regardless of the validity of the information. You have to pile on the tweet everyone else is jumping on... You have to mock those who hold different views... be snide...be nasty. You have to signal to everyone else just how in the know you are."

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
