Smart and competent for a journalist, or smart and competent for a person?
There’s a difference.
I have no idea how you are, since I don’t know you, and too many of colleagues are busy being cheap prostitutes for me to care about journalist feelings.
I’m not American. I live in a small country the other side of either ocean. And even here, it’s disgusting.
You know that feeling, when you know that the person is lying, the person knows it’s lying, is aware that you know it’s lying, and still lies?
A small, thick pen!s.
