Which journalists would you trade places with? The high-paid anchors or the grunts that have to work 18 hour days? And you'd look forward to having to worry about being in a very real potential terrorist attack zone? 'Cause they're all worried about that. Then there are the reports of getting your information hacked almost as soon as you turn on any kind of device that has internet access. Yep, sounds like a dream assignment to me. The only better place I can think to be a journalist is in the middle of a war zone... but wait, if the terrorists actually attack during the Olympics... well, you can see where I'm going with that, can't you?
