“the illusion of expertise and special knowledge that our failed elites hide behind”
This illusion has driven me crazy for who knows how long. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that anyone on a TV news show that is called an “expert” is probably, at best, middle of the pack in their field of “expertise”. At worst, they’re a paid political hack masquerading as an expert.
An easier way to explain this : Paul Krugman
These same experts are the “Many scientists / economists / experts / etc” that the press usually references when they are writing their hit pieces. They tend to leave out details like “left wing hack” and “socialism supporter”.
