re: Tweets That Didn’t Age Well:Dems Trust MSM Since They Are Better Educated Than Republicans

I hope at some point it dawns on these idiots that they’re not proving the point that they think they are with stuff like this. 
Obviously there’s some correlation between intelligence and academic achievement, but until you break down the data by the actual metric you’re purporting to measure, then you have no idea if that pool of “educated” people who trust the MSM are disproportionately composed of people who managed to get some sort of college degree in spite of having a decidedly average or even below-average IQ.
And that doesn’t even touch on the idea that, even if these people are higher-IQ on paper, they’re not automatically more emotionally intelligent or pragmatic than people who are likely only a few points down the scale from them on average.
The whole premise is so weak that you don’t know whether to be angry about how disingenuous they’re being, or embarrassed for them that they’re too dumb to realize how weak it is.

The media is something like 90-95% Democrats. It’s not that hard to figure out why Republicans don’t trust it. It’s biased heavily in one direction. Anyone with common sense can see that.

That smug champagne woman sneering at the grocery store bagger comes to mind.
What a smug b*+ch. Her condescension towards the “uneducated” plebe at the checkout line utterly exposed the vapidity of her received political opinions. What a joy it is to see that cackling crazy-cat-lady exposed for what she truly is!

If tweet fails to load, click here. Smile wiped off face of cackling professor who bought champagne to toast Kamala win….

Imagine being the person who goes out of their way to *allegedly ask a store clerk who they voted for, then mockingly laugh while claiming they wasted their vote, and then smugly post about the encounter on social media. And further, to follow THAT up with another video explaining OK, she lost, but... racism and misogyny!
* I have my doubts this even happened, I believe she bought the champagne, then could have told the clerk why, even though he didn't ask, but there's a good chance much of it was embellished and occurred only in her fertile mind.
Seriously, this has all the feels of those fake stories where a parent would say "I was brought to tears today when my 4-yr old daughter asked me why world leaders can't stop evil white businessmen from poisoning the planet and that she's sad she'll never see a clean and vibrant planet when she grows up." FFS, c'mon!!

I hold an advanced research based graduate degree in a physical science from a "Top 50" university.
I'd say my formal education credentials are top 98-99%.
I say with certainty that formal education does not make one "educated".
These people are just credentialed pricks.
I learn from HS educated pipe fitters, engineers, everyone.
I'm so sick of this elitist bullshite.

I’ve been saying for years now, and while it’s not 100% I feel it’s more true than not, that the higher your education the higher your likelihood of being indoctrinated.
If you are sitting in classrooms for 20 years you can’t scrutinize the source of the info constantly so you just train yourself to assume that you are learning is gospel.

One if the reasons they lost was the demeaning and condescending attitude they have towards working class and blue collar men especially. Pease don’t stop. This strategy is great for Republicans, lol

I don't think it's naivete or gullibility. I think it's pure arrogance and self-flagellation.
Because they think they are already smarter than everyone else, when they hear someone spewing thoughts they think, they don't question them - at all.
One of the hallmarks of science is supposed to be a questioning mind. Real scientists never accept at face value anything that has even the slightest chance of being wrong. These people live in an echo chamber and have no desire to leave it.

Dude wasnt smart enough to understand he read it wrong. This isn't a graph about who watches the MSM more, but who doesn't trust them. If you don't trust something you were smart enough to learn that you shouldn't.
What a simp.

I learned at a young age that there's book smarts' and there's 'common sense smarts'. Streets smarts. Call it whatever. I've known high test scoring people who are totally oblivious to the world around them. I'm not 'anti-science' or any such thing. I value a good medical degree or engineer and such but stay in your lane. Laudable accomplishments, for sure, but don't think that affords you all knowing across the span of all information.

What happened to liberals that they now trust mega corporations the way they do. Whether it be media, pharma, big food or big tech.
When I was in my teens and 20s I remember it was always the liberals who were always suspect of large corporations.
True, but what happened is that big industry bought both sides of the aisle. The Dems are more useful idiots for big tech and big industry because they hold sway over mainstream media.
Remember when Hillary was slamming big pharma? And now the Dems and mainstream media fawn over big pharma. We need to trust everything big pharma tells us to take. If we don't we're conspiracy theorists. Very successful ploy by big industry to buy the Dem party. Their followers are just too happy to take their party's spoonfed mantra even though it doesn't look anything like their grandfather's party.

This is how stupid they are.
They control the entire corporate media getting spoon fed daily what they want and need to hear, yet about a million of them still need to be lied to at an even higher rate and watch MSNBC.
