I'm just gonna put it out there that I'm a freelance journalist and I call none of these hacks my peers. You hear trite excuses for writing dire articles that simply look to grandstand on the shoulders of grieving families, such as journalists having bills to pay, but I'm sorry, integrity CAN be a factor. Hell, it can even be a selling point.
I don't write for any newspapers that I personally find distasteful (so pretty much all of them), despite being approached and f*ck if I could ever sleep at night knowing I had written a piece that somehow portrayed Trump as less of a radioactive arsehat with a locked and loaded trigger finger. Having seen gleeful emails when a journo has gotten direct contact details for the ex-wife of a once-neighbour of someone who has suffered a tragic loss, I'll leave them all to it. And don't even get me started on the fact that Katie Hopkins has the sheer GALL (thanks Ed!) to consider herself a journalist.
