Steve Sailer explains why so many journalists & experts don’t have a clue:

“To reach a high position in American life, it doesn’t pay to waste time associating with a wide range of your fellow human beings. You are much better off spending as much time as possible schmoozing other ambitious people who can help you out. It pays to adopt whatever conventions they exhibit in terms of what you are supposed to talk and write about. And, for highly verbal people like journalists, it’s safest if you train yourself never to even think about anything you aren’t supposed to express.”
