Did you know that now there is a simple test for journalists to determine if you are actually a hooker? Take the test now, because many journalists are actually whores and simply don't know it. How many of these 8 warning signs apply to you?
1.You wake up in a room of media people and someone who is frequently called upon by the White House is a hooker and you don't notice.
2.(Follow-up question to #1) Someone points out that a hooker is posing as a journalist and you yawn and say "so what, there's no story there...like he's the only whore asking questions here?"
3.During the Clinton years, you felt it was far more important to cover the Monica story than the President speaking at the U.N., but fail to see the relevance of a hooker given "special information and passes" to the White House now that Clinton is gone. (After all, Bush has restored honor to the White House, so where's the story, right?)
4.Once the story really starts to break, you blame the "left wing bloggers," because if they didn't break the story no-one would have noticed anyway.
5.You interview the hooker and ask no hard-hitting questions because he seems as much a journalist as yourself and don't want to raise the bar too high.
6.Like the foreign-based GOP Fox news, you just don't cover it at all. Still don't see the point, hasn't even been mentioned in daily GOP talking points.
7.Too busy and dedicated trying to sell a lottery-based Social Security system to the American people to be taken "off message."
8.You feel that the possibility that someone might have used dirty information to influence someone in the White House is too tawdry to cover; because you have standards to uphold. If the White House needs an escort service to get the job done, so be it. Who are you to question such methods?
If one or more of these symptoms appear, you are a media whore. Ask your doctor if telling the truth is right for you. While there is only a 1% chance that you will survive this treatment, it is the only known cure.
