Public enemy No. 1
It's this guy:Not only do I hate his jerk-off name and his jerk-off face, but I hate what he has to say about his job:
The new Washington Post reporter covering the Nationals baseball team would rather be writing about something else. Food, preferably.Seriously? I could name twenty people off the top of my head that would gladly do that job and love it. Except this guy, 26 (!!) years old, has it, and hates it, and bitches about it. In this economy. With the state of the newspaper industry as it is.
“I don’t like sports—I am embarrassed that I cover them,” Chico Harlan says. “I can’t wait to stop. It is a means to an end and a paycheck.”
I would say more but I fear getting to profane on this mo'fo.
At least "State of Play" got me excited to work for a newspaper again, especially the ending credits montage of the paper in production. And nice cast: Jeff Daniels, Helen Mirren, Michael Buth (?!)...
Labels: film, jerks, journalism, newspapers

he does have kind of a douchey face.
Isn't it a bit dangerous spouting off about how much you hate what you do for a living? He'll be the first to be axed when budgets get tight.
