“So many [journalists] are part of the same class – an exalted and privileged class. They are professionals and they believe in the things that so many other professional groups believe in: consensus, ‘realism’, credentialing, the wisdom of their fellow professionals and, of course, the stupidity of the laity. This is the key to understanding many of their biases – and also for understanding why they are so utterly oblivious to how they appear to the rest of America.”
Thomas Frank
Soup du jour(nalists) is mostly thin gruel. Make your own soup. We pretty much always have a pot of bone broth going. Ladle some out into a sauce pan, add whatever you like, eat like a strong, healthy, peasant.
