A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.

Summary

This quote suggests that journalists are individuals who are in the wrong profession or have chosen their career path unintentionally. It implies that their abilities and passions are better-suited for something other than journalism. This view may stem from a belief that true callings or purposes are predetermined, and when one deviates from that path, they are destined for dissatisfaction or unfulfillment. Additionally, it could reflect the speaker's skepticism about journalists' abilities to accurately report or analyze information, suggesting they lack the necessary skills or qualities for their profession.
