A journalist is someone with a degree in journalism.
No. You won't find that definition anywhere. Virtually everyone would agree with the Random House Unabridged definition: "a person who practices the occupation or profession of journalism."
People may or may not think of Luke as a good journalist but that doesn't change things.
Without getting picky, websters dictionary defines journalist as "one who writes for a newspaper or periodical"
But either way , any journalist at least attempts to verify facts.
journalism, according to websters is "the writing and editing of NEWS items. Luke is a gossip columnist first and a sometimes journalist.
One measure of journalism would be if Luke has ever printend a retraction of anything that later turned out to be not true, like when he "reported" that a second generation male on the q-list last year was positive. After that proved to be false, there was never a retraction. A journalist would surely have set the record straight. Or was that gene ross who reported that. If it wasnt you luke, i apologize. Or did you just reprint the story from another site, without checking the facts.
But we love luke for what he is, an entertainer. And he is good at that.
No one asked for it but here is my opinion. Luke is a journalist. He is blurring the line between blogger and journalist admittedly but I've never seen him make up anything out of whole cloth. His niche and his forte, in my view, is printing his interviews verbatim, without editorializing and with a minimum of commentary. He lets the statements of his subjects speak for themselves. I don't recall anyone ever disputing an attributed quote he published, and if they did I feel sure he has the tape to back it up.
Helpme, I'm sorry you feel it necessary to resort to braggadocio and mudslinging to support your points. It seems to me that you could more easily do that by posting links to websites that publish your stats. In this case I'm not disputing what you say but merely saying that you are arguing from the vantage point that we should all accept you as who you say you are.
Fuck none of us belive that. Jamesn isn't from Harvard or in Cambridge, Monkey didn't go to Africa, Slutwife is not someone's slut wife, Evil Klown is a clever poster, Smutmutant isn't an employee of AVN, I don't live in New fucking Jersey and Malice isn't Simp and on and on.
