Zakaria: Journalists Are ‘Better Educated’, ‘More Comfortable With Diversity’ Than Ordinary People
Breitbart ^ | June 27, 2016 | by BREITBART LONDON

From Mediaite: CNN’s Fareed Zakaria spoke with Brian Stelter on Reliable Sources today about whether the media being too “elite” was a problem in how it missed the Brexit outcome so badly.

Zakaria acknowledged that journalists tend to be “better-educated,’ “comfortable with diversity,” more liberal, and “probably less sensitive to the concerns” of average Britons who supported the Brexit.

However, he said, the pro-Brexit campaign was “entirely using emotion, conjuring horror stories” about immigrants and the like, aided on by the British tabloids––which Zakaria referred to as “basically their Fox News.”

Zakaria argued that “the media does have a bias in favor of facts” when it calls out the Leave campaign for going on emotion while the Remain campaign was bringing up facts and figures about the cost and consequences of leaving the EU.

Journalists tend to be more smug and have a higher opinion of themselves than ordinary people.

Thank you. They probably got their journalistic credentials from public school elective courses. I remember when I was at school you had a journalism class and the teacher who ran it was a flaming liberal. Even used to call Israel a racist state in class and said that the real reason we fought the Vietnam war was fought to advance white supremacy. No wonder liberals want to require licensing for blogs.

Diversity is not taking journalists’ jobs and depressing their wages.

That is downright funny. The elite decide who is elite... good setup for the elite.

But the people outnumber the elite... look at Brexit.. it oughta’ get them scrambling for a bit.

Most modern journalists have been brain washed. They couldn’t work a simple logic problem if their life depended on it

And that is the crux of the issue. Logic is not taught anymore. Instead we have people grasping at the latest emotion driven slogans.
'The Earth is Melting'.
'Who needs borders?'
'Pay everyone a livable wage'.
'Black lives matters (unless they are being taken by abortion or other blacks)'
'Free Medical care for everyone!'
etc

Why is there even a “Fareed Zakaria” in my country in the first place? He should be in his ethnic homeland, herding and raping his goats, but instead he is here, being used as a tool to destroy my country and culture.

Trump will get rid of these enemies.

Yep, they are comfortable with diversity so long as there is no diversity of opinion.

When I was young and foolish, I started out as a journalism major. Their two major topics of conversation were how they were going to get drunk or get laid on the weekend.

Most “Journalism” majors in college take Geology or Climate for their science major as they are too stupid to understand anything more complex.

The title of this Thread urged me to take a mental and moral review of my academic, political, moral and religious vitae.

The conclusion was that the Thread Title, its content and the Author are all a bunch off horse dung offered by a Carnival Roadster.

It’s true. Journalists are smarter, more diverse, better educated, more honest, and even better looking than the rest of us. Just ask one.
