Way off topic, but it has do to with the French

I warned you a long time ago that if I caught you pretending to be a
journalist again I'd call you on it. You're a pilot, a businessman,
and many things, but you have never ever reported news or worked in
journalism.
I know I shouldn't validate your asinine post with an answer, but your
arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance. I've never pretended to
be anything, my work and business ownership history is a matter of
public record, and your astoundingly self-righteous belief that the
only valid employees of a newspaper are "reporters" says volumes about
you and your supercilious attitude.
Here's a tiny clue from someone who participated in the budget
planning of several newspapers: Your vaunted "journalists" are
actually called "reporters" at every newspaper I've worked at and
with, and they are at the very bottom of the food chain. If you ever
reach the management level, you'll know that they are regarded as
cannon fodder, cheaper than screw-top wine and as interchangeable as
athletic socks. Worse, most of them suck.
Or did you think they got paid less per hour than our bundle haulers
because they were held in such high professional regard? Oh, you
didn't know that? Shucks.
That said, and with this new knowledge firmly embedded in your craw,
it's time to call you out. No one here has seen any evidence that
*you* have ever been a serious journalist -- unless you count being a
2-bit disk jockey under the name "Stella Starr" as serious journalism
-- yet YOU have the audacity to question my chops in the newspaper
world?
He didn't lie about being a journalist , you did.
