In a recent survey listing medical workers as the most trusted, educators scored very high in trustworthiness.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other eligible — and admired — professions were education, at 14 percent, and science and technology, at 10 percent.<\/p>\n

Educators and doctors were also voted the most trusted by an overwhelming 86 and 87 percent, followed by homemakers and those in science and technology.<\/p>\n

Only one percent picked retail professionals as partner-material, and those in media and marketing, as well as entertainers, did little better at two and three percent.<\/p>\n

These professions were also among the least trusted by respondents, who, across the seven markets, picked the media as the single least trusted group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why is this incoherently ignorant?  Simple.  The professoriate and the major media agree about almost everything. Education is no longer primarily about learning facts and how to reason from them, it is now mostly about indoctrination in left-wing “principles.”  Just like the major media.  If you trust one, and not the other, it means you don’t know what either are really about these days.<\/p>\n

Apparently, all have been doing a great job in informing and educating the public, since the public seems largely unaware of this, and actually thinks modern educators and the media are up to different things, when in fact they are two of the great arms of the grand left-ward slide of our culture, the third being government entitlement programs, upon which both depend, but in different ways.<\/p>\n
