How tough is it to become a professor after completing a PhD?

I love academia and am considering starting my PhD next year (in something related to political satire or media), with the medium-term goal of becoming a full-time professor. 

Not sure how the employment scenario is at that intersection. Is it really hard to get jobs as professors? 

Any tips would be really appreciated!

It’s a nightmare. Most people either give up or can only find part time adjunct work. Every full time job that is posted has literally hundreds of applicants. 10-15 of the applicants will have a phone interview, 3-5 of them will be invited on campus.

It’s actually hell.
