A Shitty Newspaper Article Only insults My Mind

I had a conversation with my friend's boyfriend the other night, and it turns out he thinks on the same plain as me.  I read the newspaper every morning, and the journalists that write the articles suck so bad at writing.  These writers suck to the point that I challenge you to read a newspaper article after you read this.  Who writes better?: the person who writes articles for a living, or the person who majored in biochemistry?  The conversation I had with my friend's boyfriend centered around the fact that we think, as a generalization, newspaper journalists suck at writing.  He made a nice point.  He said that if automechanics generally suck at fixing cars, we'd get in car accidents a lot more.
