[Sir Gawain]

A good reporter would’ve asked follow-up questions to all those airhead remarks.

I took a look at the website. I'd put money on the fact that the reporter was pretty sympathetic to what these idiots were shovelling.

I could be wrong, and it's non-PC to stereotype. But, I'd feel pretty confident betting the farm on it. I'd guess that a young black reporterette, assigned to cover "higher education", isn't a paragon of conservativism.
