News outlets including cable and broadcast are not known for their wisdom, intelligence, or depth of insight.
Broadcasters are/were for the most part majors in Communications in College...the easiest degree to get. Talking heads like Rather and Shepherd Smith are just that ...good readers. They are not intellectually astute by any means.
The average Freeper could run rings around them.
gee I am glad you showed up!
Oh, speak for yourself, will ya?
Really???
I have a BFA in Radio/TV/Film, a BS in Advertising/PR and an MBA in Marketing.
I graduated with my first degree in three years at the age of 20, by going to summer school and placing out of 11 hours of Spanish and 4 hours of math.
I graduated with my second degree in one year at the age of 21, taking 30 undergraduate Ad/PR hours and 12 graduate RTF hours (i.e. 42 hours total).
I graduated at the age of 39 with my third degree, working part of that time and being the Plaintiff in two simultaneous lawsuits.
Funny, but I didn't think of any of the degrees as being all that easy.
