  Three choices

  1. Find a new career.

  2. Embrace poverty and marginlization and ostracism.

  3. Attach yourself to an agenda.

  Number three is your best bet for success in journalism. Seek out, find, and ingratiate yourself to those with power and money. Understand what ideas and views they support, then do your best to support and defend those ideas and views. Within a few years, you'll be set.

  Heres a few ideas to get you started:

  Gay and Lesbian rights
  Women's oppression
  Israel's security (actually, anything about Jewish victimization anywhere in the world)
  Global warming
  The menace of organized religion
  Dangerous white men in America
  Starving black children in Africa, and African orphans
  AIDS
  "Green" anything

  Stay away from:

  The "global warming" economic/financial machine
  The overwhelming evidence that global warming is a hoax
  Palestinian rights and issues
  Zionism as an active force on the world stage
  The good things organized religion does
  Human sexuality as something sacred, spiritual, or meaningful
  Starving white kids in America, or American orphans
  Heart disease in women and men, and it's correlation with labor laws and the poison of our modern-day food industry
