If You Paid $63,916 Per Year To Attend Wellesley And You Write Like This, You Got Ripped Off

Ace mocked the Wellesley News editorial already, as have the Folks over at Heat Street, but it's important to appreciate it for more than its anti-freedom tone and the writers' total, complete, abject ignorance of what free speech means.

They can't write. At all. It's awful. And chaotic. And overwrought. And, ultimately, meaningless.

I'm just now watching Dr. Who (Season 1) and I watched this one last night:

7. The Long Game

Adam discovers that life as a Time Lord's companion isn't as easy as it looks. The Tardis's latest destination is in the far future, where Satellite 5 broadcasts to the entire Earth Empire. But anyone promoted to Floor 500 is never seen again, and the Doctor suspects humankind is being manipulated. Nothing escapes the eye of the sinister Editor, but just who is he working for? ...

The idea was that human society had evolved to the point where they were the arbiters and leaders of all of the sentient creatures in the universe - but something went wrong and "journalists" were unknowingly misleading humankind by making them stupid and incapable of thinking for themselves, with dire results of course.

Interesting.  We use not only journalists but also academics.
