quarterback Russell Wilson just said, “I felt like Sue Bird in the clutch.” In my era following sports growing up, I never remember a male athlete saying something like this. It seems simplistic, but this is powerful.

Yes, students from journalism schools exposed Larry Nassar, chronicled the mass graves of indigenous children discovered in Canada and shed light on big pharma's role in the opioid crisis. What an awful bunch.
The state of modern journalism reflects poorly on our universities.
We have kids being educated at woke indoctrination factories, given a laptop & being sent out into the world told they're the next Cronkite.
These schools aren't making journalists. They're making activists.
