The Pentagon press corps was so proud of itself this week as they defiantly walked away from their offices (and press badges) at the Pentagon. It was a truly traumatic experience, so they stopped and posed for a therapeutic group photo. They expected solidarity from those who would soon see the snapshot. But once the picture hit social media, laughter erupted.

Yes, these are our betters, the heroes of ‘journalism’ we should praise and aspire to be like.
They’re also fashion plates with amazing ‘journalistic’ accessories to match. Like this proud poser. Double snap!

Inside that messenger bag is a tattered copy of Infinte Jest, some Mentos, a room temperature green apple White Claw, a "love is love" button, and the severed toe of his former lover, Frank (pronounced "Frahnk" like Martin Short's character in Father of the Bride 2.) pic.twitter.com/wBAjUWhhVW

It’s a man’s purse. It’s a murse.
This fellow doesn’t look happy at all. ‘Just take the pic!’

He can get you a great deal on a used 1987 Pontiac Fiero.
Commenters have some closing thoughts and observations.

Now instead of making stuff up at the Pentagon, you can make stuff up in your own offices.

Honestly, is there a more lily white industry than mainstream journalism ?

Not a lot of diversity there.

Are you kidding? There’s got to be at least three different kinds of Democrats in that picture!
