Our elite media

I like Charlie Gibson, I really do. But he needs to get away from the media class and meet some other folks.

Case in point: Last night during the Democratic debate he posed a hypothetical question about the combined wages of two married professors at St. Anselm, the school where the debate was held. He suggested the two earned upwards of $200K and thus would be losers if the Bush tax cuts were repealed.

The audience exploded. Hillary told him “Maybe at NYU, Charlie.” Gibson didn’t even look chastened.

I wonder what my buddy Fragano, who is a teacher, would say about that. Probably something along the lines of coughgagsplutter...

Truly astonishing. Does he have any idea what life is like for people outside his little enclave?
