one day there's gonna be a crime drama on television, or a movie about an investigation of a crime, and it's gonna be fucking normal about the concept of journalism and reporters, i'm speaking that into existence rn

#personal #always gives me a bit of an ick when crime dramas are all 'and here's a reporter they're the worst being to have ever breathed in oxygen'#like hmmm i don't think that's true actually and i find it weird that you're making it like that #'at this newspaper we work WITH the police' that's an actual quote a journalist said to a cop in a show i watched #honestly i'd lose trust in a newspaper so fast if they were going around saying that they're hand in glove with cops #i like my journalism to be independent thank you very much #and listen i'm a democratic political operative as a career i've worked on campaigns #trust me i get fed up with journalists probably more than a lot of people #that doesn't mean that this uncritical 'the cops are good and journalists are scum of the earth' thing all crime dramas do #isn't annoying as all hell to me
