Hundreds and thousands of “journalists” should be red with shame and embarrassment but they probably haven’t even read this. Still more proof they are not journalists.
There are many doctors and scientists at PhD level who are not qualified. Education in the academic sense stopped being what education was 30 years ago. It’s clearly agenda driven today (pharma, and controlled release of truth). Any doctor or PhD scientist who is not working additionally, outside of interests financial and otherwise, who are not self fascinated by true independent thought. Do not qualify for much of anything.. other then towing the line. Let’s be clear.
There are some issues on Team Reality as well, such as Berenson asserting that antibodies are produced immediately after infection or vaccine, (wrong; it takes weeks), or Chudov asserting that Hepatitis A is transmitted by sexual activity, (wrong; fecal-oral route is most common route of Hep A transmission). When I and other doctors correct them, this information gets buried in hundreds of comments. Journalists who write about medical matters should check with physicians or double check their assertions first with PubMed info.
I'm not a journalist or medical professional, but even I began recognizing red flags regarding covid and the vaccines early in 2020. It wasn't until I stumbled on Steve's substack late last year - and subsequently those of Robert Malone and others - that I felt vindicated that my months of arduous research was validated. I felt like a lone island in the middle of the ocean before I found qualified individuals vindicating my stance. Finally, I had some big names to throw at people who vilified me for being an anti-vaxxer (which I am not) or a conspiracy theorist (which I have become, for good reason.) Thank you Steve, et al!
A lot of us have stories just like yours. It doesn't take a lot of wisdom or discernment to know a fraud when we see it. I am no genius and claim no special powers to see the truth. I am a God loving son and can only give praise to him for giving me the ability to see the truth.
Have you discovered The Daily Skeptic yet? This is a UK site that is experiencing tremendous growth by running articles and smart commentary few others websites will run. Highly recommended.
It's not the journalist's job to "tell the truth" or "hide the truth". They are not supposed to have opinions at all in their writing. Otherwise known as a bias. They are the reporter, not the narrator. It's their job to report the facts and allow the public to decide the truth. It's not their job to be an expert. It's their job to interview experts and to give an accurate representation of views.
Cherry picking who they interview (i.e. censorship) isn't journalism.
Journalism has been corrupted into narrative warfare (propaganda). That's what the issue is.
The journalists who want to ask questions won't get their stories run by management or they no longer have a job. That's the way it works right now.
We no longer have a "free" press. That's a huge problem.
I was going to say much of that but now I don’t have to. Stray from the narrative and lose your job. We are left to know how to filter out the lies and seek out alternative sources of information. Most people don’t want to try.

This will be a good watch, but a lot of it we already know:
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, Mad Cow Disease, and Bizarre Blood Clots Raise Questions About Vaccines
Not sure if I can post links directly to this, but you can find it one the Epoch Times website. Joshua looks at the SADS issue and directly references the possibility of vaccines causing it. He also points out that the death rate from myocarditis is very high in the studies (calls it shocking how the media is downplaying this) and he points out how they are using bogusly short timelines to show that myocarditis is not a big deal (completely ignoring the death rate within 5 years).
I am a fan of Josh's journalism and he had a fantastic documentary on the origins of COVID. He talked about the lab leak, right from the beginning.
There are very few "journalists". What happens if you, as a "journalist", expose crimes against humanity? - Ask Julian Assange! Ask Paul Craig Roberts! There are mostly "presstitutes" and "media whores" used by the power elite in order to fuck us all and to fuck the children.
The issue here is honesty. Who can we trust to tell the truth ~ the unbathed, make-up free, honest-to-God truth?
Sadly, when even our physicians remain silent or are outrageously mendacious (never mind the “Do no harm” oath) I have no hope that left leaning journos (ie, the majority of them) have even a smidgeon of integrity.
If by "left-leaning" you mean more loyal to the top 10% (economically) of the population than to the top 1%, then I have no disagreement.
I'm old enough to remember "left" meaning loyalty to the bottom 90%, the great economic middle, sometimes called the working class, which has now, largely, become the lower class or is on its way there.
By that definition, there are no "left-leaning journos" that anybody has heard of.
Unqualified journalists are just responding to their readers, who are mostly unqualified to read articles on medicine. Readers are just looking for talking points and direction, and journalism is just the outlet for issuing those talking points and orders. The problem isn't bad journalism, it's bad readers. Those are manufactured by bad schools. Save the schools to save society.
I blame both but the readers wouldn't be so uneducated if they read the right-type of journalism. It's like in school. You are better educated if your teacher made you read the right books.
Just like you, Steve, are unqualified to perform statistical analysis and conduct survey research. Yet you attempt to do these things anyway. As I have suggested repeatedly enlist the help of a qualified statistician. By qualified I mean someone with advanced degrees in mathematical statistics, probability theory and has decades of research experience. It's pathetic that so many people think they can just collect some data any way they want, throw the data into a computer and out of the computer comes "research". This is why 99% of all social science research it utterly useless rubbish.
You can always spot the weak-minded--they avoid talking about Event 201, which has been published online for over two years. People won't discuss it because of the fear of being called a "conspiracy theorist." Our own eyes tell us the facts, but we refuse to discuss the facts about Event 201. We can't talk about what our eyes see because we might be called "conspiracy theorists."
Hans Christian Andersen wrote about this exact situation, explaining the social acceptance mind game, "Not only were their colors and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made of this cloth had a wonderful way of becoming invisible to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid."
The Irony being the Event 201 is a real event supported by Bill Gates that was video recorded, documenting and choreographing the Covid Plandemic just weeks before they unleased the Wuhan Virus on the world.
You can show clear evidence of such crimes with actual damning video and most people screen it out as unbelievable. It is a fault in the human genome. One that may doom our existence as a specie.
I see this disconnect in people every day. It makes me wonder about our chances of survival when clear thinking and intuitive reasoning becomes the difference between life and death.
I had never heard of her, but did a quick Google search.
Sharyl Attkisson (born 1961) is an American journalist and television correspondent.[1][2] She hosts the Sinclair Broadcast Group TV show Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson.[3]
I'm glad she has this show, but I've never seen it so I wouldn't call it "mainstream." I also read she USED to work for CBS News ... until she questioned whether vaccines might cause autism.
Wikipedia assures me this has been "discredited by science." Which means it's almost certain that vaccines are causing autism.
Steve, I think you are asking the WRONG question. It has nothing to do with being QUALIFIED (hell, I'm not qualified and even I get it - it's not complicated if you look).
What you need is a BRAVE, HONEST, OPENMINDED (and probably sacrificial) journalist whose editor, channel/publication hasn't been bought by Gates or pHarma.
But then you have the problem of mass psychosis with their audience...
Would they even believe it if they were told after two years of indoctrination.
And would they even want to know or acknowledge the murderous truth of what has been done to them and their children?
If I may take the liberty to modify your headline:
“Are there any mainstream journalists who are qualified to write articles?”
Journalism used to mean understand your brief, research a topic, investigate situations, talk to as many learned and knowledgable people with experience and understanding of the topic, challenge assertions and claims, look for evidence and then write a concise, grammatically correct, interesting, informative account.
Today journalism is cut-and-paste idiotic Twitter streams from ill-informed, prejudiced, deranged individuals, or to cut-and-paste from Government press releases, and in between mangle the English language with literary skills of a 5 year old.
In our modern times, would Watergate have been investigated and reported or suppressed as disinformation?
Not too harsh. And you make your best point by bringing up the example of Watergate. It was okay in the early 1970s to investigate allegations that the President and his chief lieutenants were running "dirty tricks" out of the White House. Contrast this with GOVERNMENT scandals that have resulted in the deaths, injuries and economic devastation to MILLIONS of Americans. These scandals are certainly off limits to journalistic inquiry. They haven't caught the attention of Woodward and Bernstein, who are still alive and still working as "journalists."
i can concur with that, if i may add... often docs know nothing about the DRUGS... based on my experience working more than a decade...
i miss educating about drugs, since i haven't been able to work since early '21, etc, so here are a few of my *least* favorite drugs, due to inappropriate prescribing... not just doctors, but often...
buspir@ne (risks of pseudo-Parkinsonism, tremors, etc., in post-marketing studies, takes up to a month to work, may worsen anxiety before it gets better, prescribed AS NEEDED)
@torv@statin (and other st@tins, has risks of diabetes, nightmares/insomnia, memory problems, prescribed at bedtime CONSTANTLY,
with no benefit of nighttime dosing per manufacturer)
@mitriptyline (confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, etc, seniors may do better on nortriptyline, CONFUSION/dementia risk ignored, especially problematic in the elderly, same problems with the drug g@b@pentin)
cit@lopr@m/escit@lopr@m (may cause irregular heart rhythms, constantly prescribed with high doses in elderly and others)
vitamin D3 (altho useful if given with aporopriate K2 and magnesium, most unaware... EXCESSIVE dosing of D alone, leads to irregular heart rhythms, kidney stones, bone resorption, constipation, irritability, etc)
after years of trying to educate prescribers, often providing professional references to patients and faxes to prescribers, i felt that i got nowhere, as i would regularly see new scripts with the SAME problems, year after year... very disappointing... fwiw
Yes!
You’ve proved your point Steve.

Do not qualify for much of anything.. other then towing the line. Let’s be clear.
Might there be any retired but still highly respected journalists who might look over these materials? A Ted Koppel or Dan Rather?
Rather?? you're joking, right?
There are some issues on Team Reality as well, such as Berenson asserting that antibodies are produced immediately after infection or vaccine, (wrong; it takes weeks), or Chudov asserting that Hepatitis A is transmitted by sexual activity, (wrong; fecal-oral route is most common route of Hep A transmission).

I will check it also
I haven't, but I'll check it out. Thanks!
I have no problem saying I am now an anti-vaxxer and I was far from being one before they rolled out the poisons.

So if some journalist like Sharyl Atkisson were to question vaccines, then that journalist would no longer remain mainstream?
I had never heard of her, but did a quick Google search.

On any controversial subject, Wikipedia is uniformly wrong.
No doubt.

QED = Quickly Ends Dandruff.
The better question is: "Are there any doctors qualified to talk/write about health?"
Because the majority of doctors push Big Pharma drugs and KNOW NOTHING about health.
