And These Are Professionals

This article, posted today on the New York Daily News website, is a great example of where journalism is going.

Or maybe just New York journalism, I don't know.

Here's a snippet:

President Obama wants to grow the economy — not marijuana.

Obama was drawn into the debate over legalizing pot yesterday after the cannabis crowd inundated the first-ever, Internet-based presidential Town Hall meeting with questions about the burning issue.

"The answer is no, I don't think that is a good strategy to grow our economy," Obama said with a laugh when asked if he would legalize the wacky terbacky.

If I hadn't told you that this was actually printed by a major metropolitan newspaper, there's no way you would believe it.


Not having a great day,

JS
