it's hard to understand the minds of journalists

journalism seems like a good profession. reading,  traveling, interviewing, researching, writing, editing, etc.

but the so-called thinking by many journalists is bizarre.

last decade, many in the media biz disliked pseudonyms used by message board posts, bloggers, and commenters. 

but this decade, journalists love twitter, which supports pseudonyms. even if the journalists use their real names, they still adore twitter. even though twitter can be a cesspool for discussions, journalists remain one of twitter's core user-base.
