<< PooTin didn't ask Moscow Qarlson for a million dollars because just having Qarlson as a cuck is worth much more more to him.>>
Media, written skills, communications, etc was never my strong point. so I gotta wonder what a Journalist is supposed to do ?
I know you don't like links so I will put the content below, as well as the link, so other readers can check I didn't dinker with the content (accidently naturally, or "hiccups in code" as with "X"). See below.
I also know you don't like history either, but back in the old days, journalists were supposed to get both sides of the story, and report on it. The chief editor would review the story, make sure it was up to shape and maybe throw in a bit of "alignment spin" to make sure he/she didn't get into trouble with the security forces responsible for the well being of the nation. Maybe watch some old Black and White movies about News Papers fighting the bad guys and corruption in high government places to get an idea. The world is imperfect and a lot of people already know that. We have to get by with what's possible, not always ideal.
The Journalist allows the reader to think. He/She does not instruct the reader what to think, as that insults the readers intelligence. Therefore the journalist gets both sides of the story and reports on it, othwise the reader thinks the journalist and the media is a pile of crap and goes elsewhere to find better quality news.
Boris had an opportunity, on behalf of NATO, and more importantly Ukraine, to set the record straight after the Putin interview. Tucker has a big audience, Putin threw in his view... Boris had the opportunity to respond. You would have thought several of the Ukraine war backers would have paid Tucker a $million$ or so just for the opportunity.
No... that didn't happen.
I have my own views on Boris supplied by a journalist called Jeremy Vine. I don't like Vine much, I think he is a scum ball, but I acknowledge his talents and why he is popular. A good amount of the time he relates important stories... and I read um. Here is one about Boris that you can read if you wish.

The truth of the matter is... the real truth.... Is there is an image problem with the Ukraine war and an "unfair" assessment that Boris Johnson scuttled a genuine peace initiative. Everyone was ready to sign, Boris came along and poured cold water on the whole thing much to the delight of those engaged in the armaments trade.
Boris had a golden opportunity to get everything back on track. He didn't do that, and one has to wonder why ??.

Breaking news: No matter where you are in your career path, it’s possible to become a journalist.
Journalists play a vital role in keeping the public informed, analyzing current events and telling important stories on local, national and global levels. Keep reading to discover how to become a journalist and the skills you’ll need in this fast-paced, ever-evolving career.
What is a Journalist?
Role and Responsibilities
Journalists investigate and report stories for newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television and online news outlets. Most of the time, journalists work for a specific news organization. Some work as independent freelancers and contribute to multiple outlets at a time.
Journalists’ responsibilities vary depending on their employer. Generally, journalists are responsible for pitching story ideas or following through on an editor’s assignment. They’re also required to find and interview story sources. These interviews may inform an article or be recorded for a television, radio or web show broadcast.
Beyond interviewing sources and telling stories, some journalists are involved in story editing, presentation and broadcast. This is especially true for multimedia, TV and radio journalists. These journalists typically edit their own clips and create media packages for broadcast.
How to Become a JournalistIn most cases, becoming a journalist requires a formal education and plenty of on-the-job training. A journalism degree isn’t necessarily required, but it can help with building critical writing and interviewing skills and securing industry relationships early on.
Earn a DegreeJournalists usually earn a bachelor’s in journalism or a related field such as communications or English. Some go on to obtain a master’s in journalism or in a field concentration like broadcast or investigative reporting, but this isn’t required to gain a foothold in the field.
Gain ExperienceMost colleges and universities offer opportunities for students to gain valuable journalism experience. As a college student, you might get involved in your student newspaper, radio station, TV station or magazine. You could also seek out internships at local papers and broadcast stations.
If you’re interested in entering a particular field of journalism, such as sports or the arts, make sure to attend and report on as many related events as possible. Doing so can help you develop a robust portfolio of clips to demonstrate your interest and skills in a specific niche.
Get an Entry-Level JobAfter you graduate, it’s finally time to go out into the world and report. You can start by finding an entry-level job that builds on the skills you learned in college and prepares you to climb the ranks in your organization.
Several entry-level reporting jobs suit recent college graduates. A news assistant, for example, takes on clerical duties for editors, writers and other staff in a newsroom or broadcast station. News assistants collect and distribute communications and press releases and assist with research and reporting when needed.
You might also consider finding a job as a fact-checker. Fact-checkers are vital to upholding the credibility of news organizations. These workers evaluate the validity of facts portrayed in a story and confirm data, dates, historical information and identities.
Move Up the LadderAs you advance through different jobs in journalism, you’ll take on greater responsibilities and move into new roles such as manager, editor or news anchor. Becoming a news director or manager of a radio or TV station is another option. You might also expand to larger news markets if you started in a local newsroom.
The skills you gain in entry- and mid-level positions set you up for success in managerial or editorial roles. Managers and editors require sharp communication skills and a constant finger on the news pulse. They’re responsible for determining which stories to publish, managing reporters and editing stories for release.
Important Skills for JournalistsSavvy journalists rely on an arsenal of skills across various disciplines. These include technological, communication and interpersonal skills.
CommunicationExpert communication skills are critical for success in journalism. Sharp writing abilities are also key to success in the journalism field. A strong grasp on storytelling skills is especially important, whether you’re reporting for print, online, TV or radio organizations.
DedicationJournalists should not be afraid to chase sources and dig deep to find answers. They need thick skin and a strong sense of dedication, especially if sources are hesitant to divulge information.
EnduranceThe news never stops. Journalists should be prepared to chase after breaking stories as they occur and adhere to tight deadlines.
Familiarity With TechnologyFrom cameras to microphones to video editing software, journalists require a firm understanding of the technology used every day to tell their stories.
Interpersonal SkillsThe best stories include authentic, personal accounts from sources. Obtaining such accounts is only possible by creating genuine rapport with sources.
Journalist Salary and Career OutlookJournalists make a median salary of $48,370 per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS projects careers in journalism to decline by 9% between 2021 and 2031. However, an average of 4,900 openings for news analysts, reporters and journalists are expected to open up each year throughout that time frame.
