It's surreal how colleges can fill their heads with minutia of specific fields without imparting an ounce of wisdom or an integrated worldview.
Also you should have known that IWRA who's pay doubled through covid (thus defeating inflation), who owns 20 houses, who has all the degrees, and who pays for misinformation would scoff at the New York Post which instead of being hidden behind a paywall has been repeatedly hidden by dogmatic censors of the deep state only to be proven to be entirely correct later on.
Personally I think the number of times your newspaper has been censored and then quietly uncensored is one of the better proxies for actual news. Very little is as important as what they don't want you to see.
