Katy Conrad This weeks biggest Goat

[steven]

Katy Conrad is a producer with CBS This Morning, people quickly made fun of her on Twitter when she mocked Rand Paul's medical opinion, as if he was a doctor. (Oops, he is -- an opthalmologist, to be precise.)



It never hurts to Google search your ridicule targets. "Wait, is Rand Paul actually a doctor?" It might make more sense after you discover Rand Paul's father Ron Paul is also a doctor. It's easy to think tweets are so quick to dash off, and quick to vanish into the Internet ether, who needs research for a tweet? It's tough to get noticed on something so basic, one of the first three or so biographical facts that would come up about Rand Paul.

ED DRISCOLL looks at low-information journalist Katy Conrad, who wonders when Sen. Rand Paul became a doctor.

UPDATE: From the comments: “The sad part of it all is that Dr. Paul is more qualified to talk about ebola than the administration’s ebola czar.”

This what passes for a US Journalist now....... Think about that.

You would think instant access to peer reviewed information via the internet would help stop 'Generation stupid' from being any more moronic than they already are...oh well.

There are stupid people amongst all generations.

Do news organizations even want to pretend to be unbiased any more? Its not good for their simulated news approach when the "producer" behind the show goes around blabbing like this.
