There's a study out there which found that journalists are actually really fucking dumb and operate at a lower capacity both mentally and emotionally than others. I don't have the link, but you guys found that shemale hentai so I know you can find this study if you want.
Tara Swart's study? I think it attributes the differential to caffeine overuse and sleep deprivation.
Yeah, everyone keeps mentioning that study as “proof” that journalists are inherently dumber than the rest of us, but in reality it says that the results are because journalists suffer from sleep deprivation, dehydration, caffeine overuse, and lots of stress (although interestingly, the study also showed that journalists are more resilient to stress than the average person). These can be attributed to the 24/7 news cycle. Journalists are under constant pressure to provide information and stories before anyone else does, and that naturally cuts into their time to rest and recharge their batteries.
There’s a lot to criticize modern journalism before, but “all journalists are actually really dumb because this study said so” isn’t one of them.
