I think there are some careers that too many people decided to go into and there are way way too many of them. Lawyers are one, journalists are another. Since there are so many of them they have to do stupid embarrassing things to make a living because there's not enough legit business for them to earn a paycheck.
So like lawyers...they have to ambulance chase and hustle hard to make a buck, giving all lawyers a bad name.
Journos, same. There isn't enough real news for them to cover and real news sources they can write for, so they have to justify their existence by writing stupid sh*t like the above. Fear mongering sells because humans in general are retarded. They start "news" blogs writing about people nobody's ever heard of and getting all kerfluffle about crap. They write about each other, as if we care. They write about D-list celebrities nobody cares about.
There should be a cap on these glutted careers, and those who don't make the cut have to clean toilets or something. Maybe go on a list for when someone dies, retires, or quits. Once the quota has been reached and there are some backups in the queue, they have to major in something else in college.
Also if an existing journo or lawyer goes over the edge, we should be able to vote them out and let someone with more talent and integrity take their place. You'd think the competition would be fierce because there's so many of them, and yet here they are....writing for garbage blogs like Vox and PJMedia...finding a reason to appeal a slam dunk death penalty conviction from 20 years ago or sue over hot coffee...and making crap money doing it.
In the meantime, the mobile RV tech is making a freaking fortune and has more business than he knows what to do with. Nurses are making hard bank and freelance traveling because they're in such demand. There are a number of great careers these people could go into and make excellent money, but all Democrats want to be either a lawyer or a journalist. So that's half the country in two professions, which makes no economic sense.
