Hate to resort to /sci/'s forbidden topic, especially since I can't remember the source, though it was an actual study not some infographic, but journalists have very low IQs for white collar workers. Something shockingly low like 98 on average. They also have high levels of alcohol and drug abuse, suffer high rates of depression, and are far more likely to be divorced than the average person. They're miserable people living miserable lives, trying to fake being informed, while being highly susceptible to being manipulated or outright bribed.

If you ever get to meet a journalist, you'll be shocked by how dimwitted they are and how little they understand about the world. I'm not just talking about big issues, I'm talking even about mundane things like how a bar code works. Had one try to install a 9V battery in a smoke detector by pushing the connector against the flat side on the bottom. When I asked what he was doing, he said if he connected to the top, the thing would keep beeping so that must mean he connected it wrong. They're not even midwits. I suspect they're probably on average about 98 IQ. But they know how to talk with authority to a camera or in written articles, so people believe them.
