Journalism: don't take it too seriously

Firstly, let’s get one thing straight: journalism is a great and noble profession (in my biased opinion). That being said, there are times when some journalists simply take themselves way too seriously. Yes, we are often reporting on issues and events which require a high level of knowledge, skill and sensitivity but there are times when that can all become a little too much. Though I would never wish any kind of misfortune on my journalistic friends (or myself for that matter) I have no problem with having a laugh at those journalists who just didn’t get it right. Whether it’s a misquote, a mishap, or a moment of pure stupidity, sometimes it’s good to step back and have a laugh at the idiot journalist who just didn’t get it right. That being said here is a few videos that showcase bad/funny journalism at its best.
