And why do they have an outsize and increasing influence? The failure of the 4th estate. 24 hour news cycles, lazy editors, flimsy fact-checking on opinion has allowed an army of ideological hacks to occupy our screens and newspapers with fake experts and bogus scholarship.

One of the failures that has got us to where we are today is the inability of news organizations to distinguish between legitimate scholarship and disinformation disguised as scholarship. These morons are the Goop of policy, and trickle down economics their jade egg.
