The Original Journolist


Five Sun-Times Pulitzer winners at Riccardo’s, 1970s: (Bill) Mauldin, (Roger) Ebert, (John) Fischetti, (Tom) Fitzpatrick, (Ron) Powers. (h/t Ebert Chicago)

The idea that journalists getting together in semi-private to bitch about the subject they cover in less than punk-ass "objective" and safe-for-work terms would be considered some kind of scandal is hilarious.

The idea that the tens of thousands of journalistic paupers and red-headed stepchildren who were never told about and were not invited into Ezra Klein's "No Homers Club" care about it

is doubly hilarious.

Oh, to be the fly on the wall during a conversation between Bill Mauldin and John Fischetti.

They are obviously conspiring to destroy the country!
