Everyone's a journalist!

The "American Thinker" explains how we need to trust the internets more than those untrustworthy, biased journalists. "I realized that I need a scorecard to keep track of all the fallen journalists, journalistic mistakes and major and minor screw-ups in the media," writes Randall Hoven, the author of the post. To that end, this trustworthy, respected site has diligently compiled a list of journalistic transgressions, performed by journalists. And what did we learn?

That Joe Biden is a journalist, not a U.S. Senator.

That Jimmy Carter is a journalist, not a former President

That Stephen Ambrose was a journalist, not a historian

That Michael Bellesiles is a journalist, not a college professor

That Ward Churchill is a journalist, not a college professor

That Joseph Ellis is a journalist, not a college professor

That Jacob Epstein is a journalist, not a novelist

That James Frey is a journalist, not a 'memoirist'

That Doris Kearns Goodwin is a journalist, not a college professor

That Alex Haley is a journalist, not a novelist

That Jesse MacBeth is a journalist, not a fraudulent soldier



Is George W. Bush also a journalist? How about Paris Hilton? Try again, buddy.

[via the ever-panting InstaPundit]

UPDATE: Sadly, No! makes a major contribution to the list.
