From that point of view, the press and journalism should not exist.
“Sociologist” is more of an anti-qualification. In any case let’s not rely on appeals to authority. I think we are intelligent enough to judge the evidence ourselves.
No, but she doesn't have to be in this context. She's a very capable critical thinker who knows how to do very thorough research, which is all someone has to be to determine that there is, in fact, no data to support the claims.
She’s not a capable critical thinker, quite the opposite, in fact. Completely unimpressive.
