Whiskey's Place: Local TV News: Politically Correct and Feminized

A lot of minority faces doing the news here in the Bay Area. If Plato were alive today I wonder what sort of barb he would say with regards to journalists. Surely they must rate even lower than Sophists and other academics. It reminds me of the "educational" and history programming on on PBS, which has the veneer of scholarship by featuring academics (or scientists) as experts. But the viewer is ignorant of the fact that in the world of academics, not all academics are created equal and that getting published is no sign of scholarly competence or soundness of reasoning. Furthermore, an argument from authority is the weakest, especially when no evidence is given to defend the assertion; rather authority is used merely to confirm a certain narrative. (I am thinking in particular of Peter and Paul.) Given the bias of PBS, we can usually guess what sort of narrative that is. While PBs may do me a service in presenting BBC shows, I'd be willing to do without that if it were to disappear. It's a tool of those who hold tradition in contempt and seek to remake the world in accordance with their utopian ideals. SWPLs may take pride in their support and viewership of PBS as a sign and verification of their "education," but their inflated egos prevent them from knowing how ignorant they are.
