I had to look up some of the big words.

N.B. There are some notable exceptions to the following statements.
(e.g.: those that present facts and don't rely on bullying and
disdainful commentary in an attempt to humble the opposition).

Plumbing. Plumbed. To Plumb.

The art of removing blockages from pipes interfering with the free flow
of matter occasionally fecal in nature.

Must be the job Journalists have taken on as their old Alma Mater sinks
to the bottom.

Journalism, Journeyman, Journo,

Journo, the art of being employed by an oligarchy to program the minds
of the many (through editorial intercession) into a state of almost
constant FUD whilst actually chanting "liberty, freedom and equality for
all". 

History has taught us that as Journos subsequently program themselves
into believing what they chant, their activity is often referred to in
the history books as Propaganda, or on occasion more euphemistically,
public relations.  

Most former Journalists today are eking out a subsistence living from
writing on blog sites earning click-thru rewards not allowing them to
live in the style that they were once upon a time accustomed too.
Somehow failing in their mission to transition from mindless puppet to
citizen journalist.

This forces them to hide on small list servers venting their unfulfilled
frustrations on those that have not yet been cowed into submission by
the power of their words and joining small subsets of bully boy [SD?]
groups.
