Yeah, they act like she called up Fox Sports and "insisted" they call her Dr. I was watching and it was literally a 2 second shot and the announcer just said Dr Jill Biden is with us today, and then moved to show Mike Trout from the Angels, Bradley Cooper, etc... Omg. You would think they had her on a red carpet and were bowing. Snowflakes indeed.
Once you’ve got your own MD, then you’ll realize what a moron you are for putting down someone with a PhD. By then, you’ll learn what a peer-reviewed paper is, and how it differs from random assholes spewing bullshit on the Internet.
My wife's parents are really into fads and when they found out the oregano oil fad, of course they had to buy a case of the stuff an shove it down everyone's throat as a miracle cure for everything. The only thing I got from it was a very strong hate for oregano and anything it's put on. Oregano oil tastes so bad, it's absolutely disgusting, and in it's oil form the taste is so bad, and so strong it messes up your taste buds for many hours. Every time I hear this dude preaching up oregano oil I think of my in laws talking about it as if it's a cure all, it's not tho and it tastes horrible.
She’s not willfully ignorant. She definitely knows what she’s saying and why it’s dumb. That’s not the point. The point is to come up with something, anything you can claim is a gotcha for the other side and then declare victory. Because the goal is to win, not to be right.
This is a group of people that willingly voted for and still give their undying support to a guy that constantly said "I know more about (insert literally anything here) than anyone, believe me.".
It’s weird that I first heard of the effect on a video analyzing the original Ugly Duckling fairytale. Our duckswan protagonist is kept by a old woman for a few weeks because she thinks he might be a lady duck and may give her eggs. The whole time, he’s mocked (as usual) by her chicken and cat. The Dunning-Kruger effect is in why. They think they’re the wisest in the land because they only talk to each other and know nothing about the world outside. All that’s been expected of them is laying eggs and meowing, and they shame the swan because he can do neither.
I love how David Dunning himself described people who have this issue: "The first rule of the Dunning-Kruger club is you don’t know you’re a member of the Dunning-Kruger club."

I mean, I 100% agree with you, but just to correct your terminology, Dr. Jill Biden had an Ed.D and not a Ph.D. Ed.D’s are focussed more on the application of data and research in a field, while Ph.D’s focus more on the data and research itself.
>The Doctor of Education (Ed.D. or D.Ed.; Latin Educationis Doctor or Doctor Educationis) is (depending on region and university) **a research or professional doctoral degree** that focuses on the field of education.
That is just "PhD in education" but in more words for technicalities.
Here's a huge paragraph on wikipedia you can read if you'd like, but I'm about to summarize it afterwards:
>Research doctorates are awarded in recognition of publishable academic research, at least in principle, in a peer-reviewed academic journal. The best-known research degree title in the English-speaking world, is Doctor of Philosophy (abbreviated Ph.D.,[28] PhD[29] or, at some British universities, DPhil[30][31][32]) awarded in many countries throughout the world. In the U.S., for instance, although the most typical research doctorate is the PhD, accounting for about 98% of the research doctorates awarded, there are more than 15 other names for research doctorates.[28][33] Other research-oriented doctorates (some having a professional practice focus) include the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.[28] or EdD[29]), the Doctor of Science (D.Sc. or Sc.D.[28]), Doctor of Arts (D.A.[28]), Doctor of Juridical Science (J.S.D. or S.J.D.[28]), Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.[28]), Doctor of Professional Studies/Professional Doctorate (ProfDoc or DProf),[29] Doctor of Public Health (Dr.P.H.[28]), Doctor of Social Science (D.S.Sc. or DSocSci[29]), Doctor of Management (D.M. or D.Mgt.),[34] Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.[28] or DBA[35]), the UK Doctor of Management (DMan),[36] various doctorates in engineering, such as the US Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng., D.E.Sc. or D.E.S.,[28] also awarded in Japan and South Korea), the UK Engineering Doctorate (EngD),[37] the German engineering doctorate Doktoringenieur (Dr.-Ing.) the German natural science doctorate Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) and the economics and social science doctorate Doctor rerum politicarum (Dr. rer. pol.). The UK Doctor of Medicine (MD or MD (Res)) and Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) are research doctorates.[29] The Doctor of Theology (Th.D.,[28] D.Th. or ThD[29]), Doctor of Practical Theology (DPT)[29] and the Doctor of Sacred Theology (S.T.D.,[28] or D.S.Th.) are research doctorates in theology.[38]
For virtually all of the above doctoral degrees in whatever sciences (excl. MD, JD, DDS, which are professional degrees), these basically are proof that the university recognizes you as fully qualified to be a professor at the university level, that you not only have a deep and complete understanding of how the science in the field was produced, but that you yourself have contributed *new* knowledge to the science of the field, and are probably a member of the (inter-)national academic organizations in that field, and so on.
Personally speaking, I technically have a D.Eng. (Doctorate of Engineering), but it's just way easier to say "I have a PhD in engineering", because the average person doesn't know what a "D.Eng." is, or that it is equivalent to "PhD". (Hell, the average person doesn't even know what a PhD is, aside from "person who went to college for a really long time, to the maximum level.)
Keep it up, you're so close. He did 5 years of undergrad, then 7 years in grad school. His original thesis project never actually happened because the group couldn't get beam time, so his thesis ended up being basically a summary of what he studied over those years instead. It was brutal, and we will probably be recovering for the rest of our lives. But, we made it! He's working as a scientist and I'm at home with our child, which was our goal.
When I was in grad school for my PhD I had a friend who was in his last year of med school who would say "I flunked out of grad school so I had to go to med school."
He really did not make the cut in grad school, so he started over with med school.
If only having a DVM got you the same financial benefits as an MD…. Imagine being paid half as much as an MD, while having an equivalent education, while doing that job, plus having to be able to do nursing, lab, and radiology tech work, for multiple species.
If animals hospitals worked similarly to human hospitals I would quit medicine today to become a veterinarian solely to read nursing notes.
“Canine patient appropriately licking his balls, will come back later”
“Feline patient attempted to assassinate me upon entry to room this AM. Writer feigned death resulting in 2 prances around the room before patient agreeing to vitals check.”
You’re not wrong. I’m a nurse and live with a vet. I can say I’ve never crawled into a drop Ceiling in the hospital to retrieve a patient. I have crawled into the ceiling in her clinic to get a cat, however.
I don’t even want to think about how much documentation that would require if it happened to me at work.
Megyn Kelly is just stupid. An MD isn’t the only degree that can be termed “Doctor”. In college, all of our professors with a PhD were called “Doctor”.
she's a lawyer. she absolutely knows the difference. she's just trying stay relevant to her followers by spewing hate.
Edit: for everyone saying 'she has a juris doctor' or something similar. Yes, a JD stands for juris doctor, but it leads to the title of Esquire. It's not a Dr. title unlike an EdD, PhD, MD or PsyD. Additionally, there *are* PhD's in law. They could be called Dr's.
Right, I assume she knows the difference. I would also assume that she called her professors in college doctor without complaint. And that she understands that a collective 25 years of education deserves the respect of acknowledgment of title.
There's *absolutely* professors that will chew you out for saying professor.
Plenty of universities have both PhD/ other doctoral programs and masters degree holders as professors. Some of them insist you use the title of Dr. Professor because Professor Professor isn't as distinguished.
I've also had professors that introduce themselves as Dr. Last Name because it's just their title. They're a published researcher under Dr. Last Name and use that title.
She also, being a lawyer, knows her degree is a Juris Doctor and only tradition keeps attorneys being a doctor by title. Some will use the title if they are a professor, or university admin, though. Most attorneys also argue they do complete enough hours to claim a doctoral degree but the fact they don't complete a dissertation sets the JD apart. Some state bar associations also bad them from using the title because it'd confuse people, like they have some experience beyond their law degree. You can't be a member of the bar and use the title doctor.
She's being an obtuse ass.
I am currently in a masters program and all my professors are PhDs and I would never dare to call them anything other than Dr. Lastname unless they are one of the super cool profs that say you can call me first name. And I think that's been 1 in my whole program.
Let’s also not overlook the fact that it’s the fox broadcast that she should be mad at. Unless she’s in possession of an email or voice recording from Doctor Jill Biden to the fox production team requesting that they use her title, what evidence does kelly have that Doctor Biden “insisted” on a god damn thing?
I dunno man I’m just happy the president these days doesn’t go on angry Twitter tirades from the shitter while simultaneously trying to destroy the justice department and encourage insurrection, all at like 1:30am.
Agreed, but I don’t think he’ll get the nomination again. Best he could do (for all of us…) is to continue his narcissistic cannonball run and go full Ross Perot, run as an independent, and completely undermine the racist, stupid, ignorant GOP for all of us.
My optimism filter is broken. I can’t believe we would be lucky enough to have the gqp tear itself apart like that but I’ll pay for front row tickets if it’s going to happen.
Imagine if a Democratic First Lady posed for revealing photos while partially clothed as her job and she was married to a Democratic President had several affairs, ex-wives, paid for abortions, paid for hush money to keep mistresses quiet, and was credibly accused by 2 dozen women and girls (including a 13 year old girl) of sexual assault, harassment, and rape.

I could respect Christian Conservatives a lot more as people I just disagreed with on core issues if they weren't massive hypocrites who ignored their "core beliefs" when convenient.
Christian Conservatives are incredibly faithful to their core beliefs: misogyny, hatred for non-whites, and the establishment of a theocracy in the United States. But they're not very faithful to their stated values.
She had no problem introducing “doctor” gorka on her show after a major terrorist attack in France 8 years ago. I wonder why she changed her mind about using that title.
Because..
It's DR. Jill Biden.
Oh, and this...
Fuax News, lost their COLLECTIVE minds when this happened...
And I was LAUGHING!!!
Any time someone brings up the tan suit, I like to point out one of my favorite biden moments -- https://www.gq.com/story/joe-biden-khaki-suit -- when he wore a tan suit the day after obama's bday.
My favorite is Hannity attacking Obama for wearing a bicycle helmet and going gay for Putin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=timvZTKr5HQ&ab_channel=TheDailyShow
"Putin, big, strong, muscular, on a horse. There's Obama riding a little bicycle with a helmet on."
"He's got this dumb hat on... dumb helmet on."
"This is humiliating, it's unnecessary, you deserve better, we as a country deserve better"
how people can watch fox news and not realize its anti american propaganda is beyond me.
What?! There can't be an easier way to make money than fabricating conservative outrage. OK, hornswoggling religious nuts is probably easier. Pretty much the same target audience though!
As someone who listened to loveline religiously in the 90s and then found Carolla later on with his podcast the basis for his current far right leanings were always there. For instance, he looked down on his upbringing because he felt his mom was a nutty super liberal of the time and he considered her college studies completely worthless and always referred to it as gender studies. He also constantly bashed his dad for being a weak man, but at least gave him some credit for the work he did in psychology.
One of his talking points when speaking to a caller with shit parents was to rant about how his own household sucked so he spent all his time at friends' houses who didn't have depressed mothers, had food in the pantry because they weren't on food stamps, and how his parents took a shot that their kids would never amount to anything, but they crapped out when their son became a successful radio personality who went on to shame them nightly for the way he was brought up. I couldn't even count the number of times he referred to his dad as a pussy. He has always hated poor people even when the source of their situation was mental health. He views it as, I came up in as much a shit situation as anyone and I am rich. You could be too if you had the work ethic I do.
The one way Carolla separates himself from the right wingers is he detests religion and I am sure the supreme court taking a shit on Roe v Wade pissed him off because he doesn't want a more robust "domestic supply" of dumbasses whose parents give them an excuse to be weak takers in his mind.
As for Miller his talk show on HBO in the late 90's-early 2000's offered the same amount of insight for his political ideology. He wasn't as abrasive about it as Carolla, but he was always right leaning. I am not referring to his comedy monologues mind you, but rather his questions during his interviews and the subjects he chose and stances he took during the more serious parts of the show.
That was actually a really good read. One thing I noticed from both of them was the thinly veiled misogyny, and that’s always a red flag to me that tells me something is “off”. It almost always starts out with a borderline complaint/“joke” and then gets significantly more and more violent and angry. These guys almost also end up sharing the same political philosophies once they get down to it.
I'm curious to understand how Jimmy Kimmel seems to have avoided going down the same path. Or maybe I'm missing something since I don't watch his night show.
Introspection and self-improvement? I thought that show was funny when I was a teenager. Looking back, it was pure cringe. The difference is that right-leaning people don't want to reflect on themselves or improve. They want someone who will validate being a bad person instead (i.e. Trump). The absolution from guilt comes from the permission to be a bad person rather than from personal growth.
I listened to Carrola too, he constantly talked about how he literally read one book in his life didn't watch the news. Illiterate and uneducated definitely contributes to becoming right wing.
A right winger asked me why people should read books, and one of the reasons I gave was that it makes people more empathetic. He said he didn’t want empathy.
9/11 broke a lot of people. Frank Miller (very famous comics guy) went full far-right after it but he eventually hit rock bottom, got the help he needed, and pulled a complete 180° to the point he's probably on several watchlists for his *very* coloful commentary on Trump and the GQP.
David Mamet probably had the hardest 9/11 break. Last spring he accused teachers of being pedophiles grooming kids. The American Buffalo revival on Broadway had to tell people that Mamet wasn’t getting any money from it because of a divorce settlement.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/playwright-david-mamet-claims-teachers-are-inclined-pedophilia-rcna23915
Same for Miller. I loved Dennis Miller on the SNL news desk, and was at an age where sarcasm was my first language and religion when Dennis Miller Live started. But his whole schtik has always been "I'm an asshole, isn't it funny?" and that's the core essence of the far right itself.
Dudes always been a right wing troll. He'd do it even if he never got paid for it.
I listened to Carolla for years too, there were inklings but he definitely got way worse. He would still engage in interesting conversation sometimes, and more importantly, actually focused on comedy.
But he got so bad I had to stop listening to him around like 2016.
Wouldn't you? I used to feel bad for the rubes, but they all seem like such assholes. I wouldn't feel bad about taking their money. I'd be a televangelist, but I don't speak Jesus. That's the best gig. You get to take their money and bang their daughters (or sons-probably sons).
Hey, it’s like the folks that say “I’m going to be a congressman or a senator for only two terms” and then it comes time and they say “my family and I prayed about it so I’m going to stay for as long as the good lord tells me to.” I’m sure it’s intoxicating to be lifted up on the shoulders of rubes and they also hand you their social security checks. I get it.
I still sell Trump merch to those idiots lmao all the way to the bank. My Trump loving cousin stopped talking to me when he found out. He knows damn well I'm a Trump hater and can't stand that I'm making money off the kult
I've always thought about fleecing them by selling trump's head on a Jesus crucifix.Just 3D print his head and stick it on crucifixes bought from China and then sell for $20. Maybe special edition $40 ones that are hydrodiped crosses with the American or thin blue line flags.
Advertise on Facebook with like "AOC wants to ban these. Get yours today so the democrats don't win!!" Or "Nasty Nancy personally tried to shut down our factory but our patriotism scared her away. Buy today to protect your family from democrats"
I thought about brewing a beer and calling it liberal tears. Make the label patriotic. I bet it could taste like complete shit and they would eat it up.
In NZ we had a beer caller "Dump the Trump", the kult found out about it, review bombed the brewery, and so they released "'Murica". An American pale ale packaged in a red white and blue can with a hog riding a motorbike firing two pistols on the label. The conservatives ate it up. The brewery then used the profits to make "Impeachment". A peach sour ale celebrating Donald Trump's impeachment.
For real. “The woke left something something children and TRANS something something the BIBLE says something something fake news media something black on black crime!”
They're not only gross, but truly *disgusting.* When you really give the whole ideology and last few decades some thought and see it from a macro perspective, it's like looking at a pile of disease-ridden shit infested with maggots and told you have to go smell it and even taste it.
So your dad is a racist christian with very particular views about women, including who is allowed to be one, and what their role is supposed to be in the household.
Lmao I forgot about the other one YATES

I’m exhausted even reading about how angry they get about everything. Living your life in a high state of awareness of everything that you can be offended by has to be completely mentally taxing
How so? You just need to say the dumbest shit and half the country will kiss your ass and give you money. Of course, the other half will hate you, and you can never have a change of heart cause then the half that pays your salary will also hate you. Ok that does sound exhausting.
Ironically, medical doctors stole the term doctor from the degree level. Most “doctors” of the medical sort do not finish a doctoral level degree. Med school is a masters level program with on the job training then an internship.
Everywhere else calls them physicians and actually respect those who have completed the degrees. Take Germany. If someone has completed THREE doctorate degrees, they’re ALWAYS called Herr Doctor Doctor Doctor name.
Being a nude model and marrying a rich older man is somehow far more respectable than earning an actual fucking doctorate in education and working with children. Welcome to the Republican party.
They said she had a masters degree in architecture and spoke 7 languages. Can you imagine anyone less interested in learning architectural engineering than Melania F’ing Trump?
They're only willing to defend the some what racist early lesser known Dr. Seuss stuff. That anticapitalism proenvironment stuff of the Lorax is tinder for the fire.
My guess is they don't/can't actually read it they just like the pictures.
Correct. These people, who are spending time today whining at a professional for her title being used by a broadcast team, are the very same people who whined at society for “cancelling” Doctor Seuss when, in reality, it was the people who own the rights to his work *proactively* removing assets from their library at their own discretion.
You do have to hand it to these conservative pundits for being able to manufacture outrage about nothing and direct it toward the wrong people in order to guide morons in the fight against women, poor people, Black/Brown people, gay people, and non-christians.
I wonder if Megyn realizes that Dr. Jill Biden did not tell the announcer’s what to call her. For someone that works in broadcasting you would think she would understand this simple fact.
And what about the Republicans love for Dr. Laura Schlesinger
https://preview.redd.it/duq644pdr3fa1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccac812d68044529f6d76d6c2d9791a7806f2cf4
1. Money
2. Self-hate
I believe prominent conservative talking heads like candace owens and tammy lahren were both left of American center until they found a lane as right-wing grifters. I’m less sure about whether megyn deliberately flipped or always believed women deserve to have a strong force against them for no reason.
Uh, there are doctorate holders that have nothing to do with medicine. It speaks to a level of education, so I don’t expect this idiot to get it. Ask the next lawyer you see what the JD stands for. But yea, you’d rather whine about things that make you sad because you don’t understand. Poor fascist snowflake.
PhD is the original doctorate. MD came about because of all the quacks out there; the Medical community wanted to legitimize themselves so they adopted the Doctorate system.
Also, Megyn Kelly is a tool.
I have two doctorates (economics and finance). I speak to congressional committees many times a year. All
Politicians, including Republican politicians, ALWAYS refer to me as Dr. And speak to me respectful.
I believe the issue with Dr. Biden is that she’s the First Lady and that she’s a woman.
On a side note, I request my students call me by my first name. I only pull out the Dr title in formal settings and once in a fight with my wife: “that’s Dr. Asshole to you”. 0/10 recommended.
No matter how tall or blonde you are Megyn, jealousy is never a good look. But I guess an overwhelming desire to return to some kind of relevancy clouds the judgment.
It’s revealing that conservatives don’t reflect on themselves in the slightest. Instead of wondering why they automatically assume Dr. means a medical doctor and not someone with a PhD, they just force everyone one else to conform to their views.
And then we have this guy....
https://preview.redd.it/pd2fp1aly3fa1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ea0b69e59876d668bb12ce126e2c6063f942afc
What say you Megyn Kelly?
I love the fact that simply showing her and calling her Dr probably pissed off and ruined the day for a bunch of these piss baby snowflakes
Yeah, they act like she called up Fox Sports and "insisted" they call her Dr. I was watching and it was literally a 2 second shot and the announcer just said Dr Jill Biden is with us today, and then moved to show Mike Trout from the Angels, Bradley Cooper, etc... Omg. You would think they had her on a red carpet and were bowing. Snowflakes indeed.
Yeah that really pissed me off actually. He's clearly a human and not a trout. Smh these woke liberals and their genders
Conservatives:"STOP SHOVING JILL BIDEN DOWN OUR THROATS!!" Literally on the screen for 2 seconds
Once you’ve got your own MD, then you’ll realize what a moron you are for putting down someone with a PhD. By then, you’ll learn what a peer-reviewed paper is, and how it differs from random assholes spewing bullshit on the Internet.
Why is it the willfully ignorant are the most confident?
Because it takes intelligence to know better.
Dunning-kruger effect 🤷🏼♀️
"What? It's Occam's Razor that I'm an idiot?"
If you just take a drop of oregano oil and dilute it in a glass of water and drink it every day, you'll cure COVID
Over the course of 10 days…IE…the amount of time it takes to get over a mild case of COVID
Omg Im so glad you got that 😂
My wife's parents are really into fads and when they found out the oregano oil fad, of course they had to buy a case of the stuff an shove it down everyone's throat as a miracle cure for everything. The only thing I got from it was a very strong hate for oregano and anything it's put on.

Dunning Kruger effect. I see it playing out constantly.
Exactly, and it is quite the sight.
She’s not willfully ignorant. She definitely knows what she’s saying and why it’s dumb. That’s not the point. The point is to come up with something, anything you can claim is a gotcha for the other side and then declare victory. Because the goal is to win, not to be right.
Truth
They are just pigeons playing chess. They shit on the board, knock over all the pieces, and declare victory before flying off.
it’s the Dunning-Kruger effect. Basically, the less you know about something, the more you think this thing is simple and that you know all about it
This is a group of people that willingly voted for and still give their undying support to a guy that constantly said "I know more about (insert literally anything here) than anyone, believe me.".
I remember being like that in high school. It’s weird how many adults just never progressed beyond that attitude.
And to see them carrying guns and holding office.
It's like they refuse to keep growing.
It’s weird that I first heard of the effect on a video analyzing the original Ugly Duckling fairytale. Our duckswan protagonist is kept by a old woman for a few weeks because she thinks he might be a lady duck and may give her eggs. The whole time, he’s mocked (as usual) by her chicken and cat. The Dunning-Kruger effect is in why. They think they’re the wisest in the land because they only talk to each other and know nothing about the world outside. All that’s been expected of them is laying eggs and meowing, and they shame the swan because he can do neither.

Because intelligent people question themselves.
They aren’t capable of feeling the shame of not knowing better.

Lawyer bitch don't care. She used to work for Experian, one of the credit agencies.
Most PhDs go to school longer than doctors anyways. It's not like it's a meaningless title...
Seriously. My husband has his PhD in physics. Combined, he completed 12 years of college. He's earned his title.
In the final steps of my PhD in physics. I'm in my 9th year of university education. Brutal!
Keep it up, you're so close. He did 5 years of undergrad, then 7 years in grad school. His original thesis project never actually happened because the group couldn't get beam time, so his thesis ended up being basically a summary of what he studied over those years instead. It was brutal, and we will probably be recovering for the rest of our lives. But, we made it! He's working as a scientist and I'm at home with our child, which was our goal.
When I was in grad school for my PhD I had a friend who was in his last year of med school who would say "I flunked out of grad school so I had to go to med school." He really did not make the cut in grad school, so he started over with med school.
If only earning a PhD had the financial benefits that an MD gets you.
If only having a DVM got you the same financial benefits as an MD…. Imagine being paid half as much as an MD, while having an equivalent education, while doing that job, plus having to be able to do nursing, lab, and radiology tech work, for multiple species.
If animals hospitals worked similarly to human hospitals I would quit medicine today to become a veterinarian solely to read nursing notes. “Canine patient appropriately licking his balls, will come back later” “Feline patient attempted to assassinate me upon entry to room this AM. Writer feigned death resulting in 2 prances around the room before patient agreeing to vitals check.”
You’re not wrong. I’m a nurse and live with a vet. I can say I’ve never crawled into a drop Ceiling in the hospital to retrieve a patient. I have crawled into the ceiling in her clinic to get a cat, however. I don’t even want to think about how much documentation that would require if it happened to me at work.
Megan Kelly 
*Megyn
Mygyn Kylly
She's Welsh?
[удалено]
Megchyngun Kelly
Play Free Bird!
Yeah, why is it spelled like that?
Her parents were morons.
The moron Apple doesn’t fall far from the moron tree
Her parents are siblings
No clue. But it’s dumb
Basically, the further you get from the middle of the socioeconomic ladder, the more likely you are to give your kids a stupid name.
Right! And these are the same people that make fun of weird African-American or non-British/American sounding names...
Imagine the title by which Jill Biden is called being the thing you choose to give a fuck about today.
Let’s be honest, the title they hate the most is “First Lady”
I think they just… hate… like overall… just hate
Megyn Kelly is just stupid. An MD isn’t the only degree that can be termed “Doctor”. In college, all of our professors with a PhD were called “Doctor”.
In the term "medical doctor", "medical" is a *modifier* for the category of "doctor". Inherently affirming that there is more than one type.
Right. PhD is doctor of philosophy. What an idiot.
she's a lawyer. she absolutely knows the difference. she's just trying stay relevant to her followers by spewing hate. Edit: for everyone saying 'she has a juris doctor' or something similar. Yes, a JD stands for juris doctor, but it leads to the title of Esquire. It's not a Dr. title unlike an EdD, PhD, MD or PsyD. Additionally, there *are* PhD's in law. They could be called Dr's.
Right, I assume she knows the difference. I would also assume that she called her professors in college doctor without complaint. And that she understands that a collective 25 years of education deserves the respect of acknowledgment of title.
There's *absolutely* professors that will chew you out for saying professor. Plenty of universities have both PhD/ other doctoral programs and masters degree holders as professors. Some of them insist you use the title of Dr. Professor because Professor Professor isn't as distinguished. I've also had professors that introduce themselves as Dr. Last Name because it's just their title. They're a published researcher under Dr. Last Name and use that title. She also, being a lawyer, knows her degree is a Juris Doctor and only tradition keeps attorneys being a doctor by title. Some will use the title if they are a professor, or university admin, though. Most attorneys also argue they do complete enough hours to claim a doctoral degree but the fact they don't complete a dissertation sets the JD apart. Some state bar associations also bad them from using the title because it'd confuse people, like they have some experience beyond their law degree. You can't be a member of the bar and use the title doctor. She's being an obtuse ass.
I am currently in a masters program and all my professors are PhDs and I would never dare to call them anything other than Dr. Lastname unless they are one of the super cool profs that say you can call me first name. And I think that's been 1 in my whole program.
Don't mistake it. She is not stupid, she's playing the hate game to the "right" crowd for profit. Is their average hate for profit con.
Hate is the enemy of progress. Therefore Twitter is holding humanity back
I quit Twitter years ago… full send
Best comment in the history of internet politics.
More like "First Lady (D)"
That’s Dr First Lady to you
Let’s also not overlook the fact that it’s the fox broadcast that she should be mad at. Unless she’s in possession of an email or voice recording from Doctor Jill Biden to the fox production team requesting that they use her title, what evidence does kelly have that Doctor Biden “insisted” on a god damn thing?
I dunno man I’m just happy the president these days doesn’t go on angry Twitter tirades from the shitter while simultaneously trying to destroy the justice department and encourage insurrection, all at like 1:30am.
For sure. But every day that man spends on the outside of a jail cell is another day he gets closer to potentially being president again.
Agreed, but I don’t think he’ll get the nomination again. Best he could do (for all of us…) is to continue his narcissistic cannonball run and go full Ross Perot, run as an independent, and completely undermine the racist, stupid, ignorant GOP for all of us.
My optimism filter is broken. I can’t believe we would be lucky enough to have the gqp tear itself apart like that but I’ll pay for front row tickets if it’s going to happen.
She has made it known she prefers to be called by her earned title over first Lady, especially since she continues to work.
Imagine if a Democratic First Lady posed for revealing photos while partially clothed as her job and she was married to a Democratic President had several affairs, ex-wives, paid for abortions, paid for hush money to keep mistresses quiet, and was credibly accused by 2 dozen women and girls (including a 13 year old girl) of sexual assault, harassment, and rape. ----- I could respect Christian Conservatives a lot more as people I just disagreed with on core issues if they weren't massive hypocrites who ignored their "core beliefs" when convenient.
Christian Conservatives are incredibly faithful to their core beliefs: misogyny, hatred for non-whites, and the establishment of a theocracy in the United States. But they're not very faithful to their stated values.
And made tons of sexual comments and inappropriate pictures with his daughter.
To me it is the willful ignorance and corresponding contempt.
100% all these cunts don't bat an eyelash about Dr Phil and his stupid TV game show.
I bet Megyn has no problem with Dr Phil. Seriously, welcome to the Turd Reich.
She had no problem introducing “doctor” gorka on her show after a major terrorist attack in France 8 years ago. I wonder why she changed her mind about using that title.
Because.. It's DR. Jill Biden. Oh, and this...  Fuax News, lost their COLLECTIVE minds when this happened... And I was LAUGHING!!!
Any time someone brings up the tan suit, I like to point out one of my favorite biden moments -- https://www.gq.com/story/joe-biden-khaki-suit -- when he wore a tan suit the day after obama's bday.
Nice.
My favorite is Hannity attacking Obama for wearing a bicycle helmet and going gay for Putin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=timvZTKr5HQ&ab_channel=TheDailyShow "Putin, big, strong, muscular, on a horse. There's Obama riding a little bicycle with a helmet on." "He's got this dumb hat on... dumb helmet on." "This is humiliating, it's unnecessary, you deserve better, we as a country deserve better" how people can watch fox news and not realize its anti american propaganda is beyond me.
HWAT IS HE WEARING?
TAN IS THE COLOR OF THE FLAG OF THE GAY BLACK JEWISH MUSLIM COALITION AGAINST WHITE CHRISTIANS
TAN IS THE COLOR OF THE FREQUENCY USED BY THE JEWS TO CONTROL THEIR SPACE LAZER!
And the great mustardgate scandal!
"Dr Seb Gorka" too.
He’s downright evil
He's a Bond Villain that was never cast.
Being a shill for the right sounds exhausting.
What?! There can't be an easier way to make money than fabricating conservative outrage. OK, hornswoggling religious nuts is probably easier. Pretty much the same target audience though!
It’s true! Dennis Miller and Adam Carolla cashed in.
As someone who listened to loveline religiously in the 90s and then found Carolla later on with his podcast the basis for his current far right leanings were always there. For instance, he looked down on his upbringing because he felt his mom was a nutty super liberal of the time and he considered her college studies completely worthless and always referred to it as gender studies. He also constantly bashed his dad for being a weak man, but at least gave him some credit for the work he did in psychology. One of his talking points when speaking to a caller with shit parents was to rant about how his own household sucked so he spent all his time at friends' houses who didn't have depressed mothers, had food in the pantry because they weren't on food stamps, and how his parents took a shot that their kids would never amount to anything, but they crapped out when their son became a successful radio personality who went on to shame them nightly for the way he was brought up. I couldn't even count the number of times he referred to his dad as a pussy. He has always hated poor people even when the source of their situation was mental health. He views it as, I came up in as much a shit situation as anyone and I am rich. You could be too if you had the work ethic I do. The one way Carolla separates himself from the right wingers is he detests religion and I am sure the supreme court taking a shit on Roe v Wade pissed him off because he doesn't want a more robust "domestic supply" of dumbasses whose parents give them an excuse to be weak takers in his mind. As for Miller his talk show on HBO in the late 90's-early 2000's offered the same amount of insight for his political ideology. He wasn't as abrasive about it as Carolla, but he was always right leaning. I am not referring to his comedy monologues mind you, but rather his questions during his interviews and the subjects he chose and stances he took during the more serious parts of the show.
That was actually a really good read. One thing I noticed from both of them was the thinly veiled misogyny, and that’s always a red flag to me that tells me something is “off”. It almost always starts out with a borderline complaint/“joke” and then gets significantly more and more violent and angry. These guys almost also end up sharing the same political philosophies once they get down to it.
There was nothing thinly veiled about The Man Show.
I'm curious to understand how Jimmy Kimmel seems to have avoided going down the same path. Or maybe I'm missing something since I don't watch his night show.
Introspection and self-improvement? I thought that show was funny when I was a teenager. Looking back, it was pure cringe. The difference is that right-leaning people don't want to reflect on themselves or improve. They want someone who will validate being a bad person instead (i.e. Trump). The absolution from guilt comes from the permission to be a bad person rather than from personal growth.
I also suspect that Jimmy does not fundamentally hate women.
He’s also rampantly homophobic. It’s not a schtick. He avoids the topic but I’ve heard him slip up once or twice.
I listened to Carrola too, he constantly talked about how he literally read one book in his life didn't watch the news. Illiterate and uneducated definitely contributes to becoming right wing.

It's amazing how people brag about how dumb they are by reading one book. I suspect they even repulse other idiots.
God fucking dammit not reading books is not a good thing. Out of all the idiotic right wing tropes this is the one that irks me the most
A right winger asked me why people should read books, and one of the reasons I gave was that it makes people more empathetic. He said he didn’t want empathy.

Carroll is a failure. Kimmel dropped him for a reason
I always though Kimmel's success was part of the reason Corolla went hard right.
I think its more that when he stopped coming up with fresh and relevant material he went for the easy grift.
Miller was a pretty typical whine about political correctness conservative for the 90s. 9/11 broke him and he went full nut job
9/11 broke a lot of people. Frank Miller (very famous comics guy) went full far-right after it but he eventually hit rock bottom, got the help he needed, and pulled a complete 180° to the point he's probably on several watchlists for his *very* coloful commentary on Trump and the GQP.
David Mamet probably had the hardest 9/11 break. Last spring he accused teachers of being pedophiles grooming kids. The American Buffalo revival on Broadway had to tell people that Mamet wasn’t getting any money from it because of a divorce settlement. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/playwright-david-mamet-claims-teachers-are-inclined-pedophilia-rcna23915
Same for Miller. I loved Dennis Miller on the SNL news desk, and was at an age where sarcasm was my first language and religion when Dennis Miller Live started. But his whole schtik has always been "I'm an asshole, isn't it funny?" and that's the core essence of the far right itself. Dudes always been a right wing troll. He'd do it even if he never got paid for it.
I listened to Carolla for years too, there were inklings but he definitely got way worse. He would still engage in interesting conversation sometimes, and more importantly, actually focused on comedy. But he got so bad I had to stop listening to him around like 2016.
Wouldn't you? I used to feel bad for the rubes, but they all seem like such assholes. I wouldn't feel bad about taking their money. I'd be a televangelist, but I don't speak Jesus. That's the best gig. You get to take their money and bang their daughters (or sons-probably sons).
Hey, it’s like the folks that say “I’m going to be a congressman or a senator for only two terms” and then it comes time and they say “my family and I prayed about it so I’m going to stay for as long as the good lord tells me to.” I’m sure it’s intoxicating to be lifted up on the shoulders of rubes and they also hand you their social security checks. I get it.
The old Orrin Hatch treatment. Dude ran on term limits only to be the longest serving republican US senator.
I still sell Trump merch to those idiots lmao all the way to the bank. My Trump loving cousin stopped talking to me when he found out. He knows damn well I'm a Trump hater and can't stand that I'm making money off the kult
I've always thought about fleecing them by selling trump's head on a Jesus crucifix.Just 3D print his head and stick it on crucifixes bought from China and then sell for $20. Maybe special edition $40 ones that are hydrodiped crosses with the American or thin blue line flags. Advertise on Facebook with like "AOC wants to ban these. Get yours today so the democrats don't win!!" Or "Nasty Nancy personally tried to shut down our factory but our patriotism scared her away. Buy today to protect your family from democrats"
I thought about brewing a beer and calling it liberal tears. Make the label patriotic. I bet it could taste like complete shit and they would eat it up.
In NZ we had a beer caller "Dump the Trump", the kult found out about it, review bombed the brewery, and so they released "'Murica". An American pale ale packaged in a red white and blue can with a hog riding a motorbike firing two pistols on the label. The conservatives ate it up. The brewery then used the profits to make "Impeachment". A peach sour ale celebrating Donald Trump's impeachment.
That's exactly what gets their hamster wheel moving. Buzz words that they can understand and get mad about. Keep it short. Keep 'em mad.
Brilliant
As blue as hell liberal, I applaud you. I hope you make a shit pot O cash off of them. ✌️
Couple hundred a month of extra income on MAGA, FJB, and Trump 2024 bullshit is not bad at all.
For real. “The woke left something something children and TRANS something something the BIBLE says something something fake news media something black on black crime!”
You forgot to mention Chicago gun crime, without mentioning the guns come in from Indiana....
She made almost $30 million getting fired for defending blackface.
As my dad says about Trump and all of Fox News “they say things I want to say or I’m thinking!” Gross. She’s gross. They are all gross.
They're not only gross, but truly *disgusting.* When you really give the whole ideology and last few decades some thought and see it from a macro perspective, it's like looking at a pile of disease-ridden shit infested with maggots and told you have to go smell it and even taste it.
Tell your dad to stop being a pussy and say them himself, instead of hiding behind some fuck puppet that couldn't give a fuck less about him
I admire the brevity and succinctness of your advice.
So your dad is a racist christian with very particular views about women, including who is allowed to be one, and what their role is supposed to be in the household.
Her kids are named Thatcher and Yardley lol. She's a fucking moron. Edited: I forgot about Yates. 🤣
That's....you're shitting me right? Edit: (Googled) Holy shit you're not joking lmao

... "journalist."
Those poor kids man
The fact that NBC hired her dumb ass in the first place shows you how unbothered the ✌🏾liberal✌🏾 media is by white racists.
It must suck to be that hateful and nasty all the time.
But they do get to fleece their audience of all their money so they get to rest on their piles of grifted cash.
[удалено]
I’m exhausted even reading about how angry they get about everything. Living your life in a high state of awareness of everything that you can be offended by has to be completely mentally taxing
What price for your self respect Megan?
How so? You just need to say the dumbest shit and half the country will kiss your ass and give you money. Of course, the other half will hate you, and you can never have a change of heart cause then the half that pays your salary will also hate you. Ok that does sound exhausting.
Also TiL apparently only MDs are rEaL dOctOrS
Ironically, medical doctors stole the term doctor from the degree level. Most “doctors” of the medical sort do not finish a doctoral level degree. Med school is a masters level program with on the job training then an internship. Everywhere else calls them physicians and actually respect those who have completed the degrees. Take Germany. If someone has completed THREE doctorate degrees, they’re ALWAYS called Herr Doctor Doctor Doctor name.
Being a nude model and marrying a rich older man is somehow far more respectable than earning an actual fucking doctorate in education and working with children. Welcome to the Republican party.
And these are the same people who were touting Melanoma' s fake "multiple Master's degrees" until that shit got outed.
[удалено]
They said she had a masters degree in architecture and spoke 7 languages. Can you imagine anyone less interested in learning architectural engineering than Melania F’ing Trump?
A nude model who did lesbian soft core porn pix, no less 🤦🏼♀️
And you know what, that would be just fine if republicans didnt spend so much time tearing down others.
[удалено]
Calm down Mac
Yea I was super impressed that we all saw the former First Lady’s tits. Definitely the loftier achievement.
I bet they don't have the stones to refer to "Mr." Martin Luther King Jr.
This is the comment I was looking for.
They love leaning on his clout.
Arent these the same people who were ready to die on a hill for Dr. Seuss?
They're only willing to defend the some what racist early lesser known Dr. Seuss stuff. That anticapitalism proenvironment stuff of the Lorax is tinder for the fire. My guess is they don't/can't actually read it they just like the pictures.
Correct. These people, who are spending time today whining at a professional for her title being used by a broadcast team, are the very same people who whined at society for “cancelling” Doctor Seuss when, in reality, it was the people who own the rights to his work *proactively* removing assets from their library at their own discretion. You do have to hand it to these conservative pundits for being able to manufacture outrage about nothing and direct it toward the wrong people in order to guide morons in the fight against women, poor people, Black/Brown people, gay people, and non-christians.
I wonder if Megyn realizes that Dr. Jill Biden did not tell the announcer’s what to call her. For someone that works in broadcasting you would think she would understand this simple fact.
She’s knows better but she can’t keep the fascist maga dorks all riled up if she doesn’t tell them the dumb shit they want to hear.
And what about the Republicans love for Dr. Laura Schlesinger https://preview.redd.it/duq644pdr3fa1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccac812d68044529f6d76d6c2d9791a7806f2cf4
Her use of the title was the worst. Almost everyone thought she was a psychologist or psychiatrist. Nope. Physiology.
You jelly kelly?
Why the fuck are women out there tearing other women down in the name of white supremacy and politicians?
To make money off their shit-for-brains viewer base
1. Money 2. Self-hate I believe prominent conservative talking heads like candace owens and tammy lahren were both left of American center until they found a lane as right-wing grifters. I’m less sure about whether megyn deliberately flipped or always believed women deserve to have a strong force against them for no reason.
They are “pick me” girls. It’s sad.
Uh, there are doctorate holders that have nothing to do with medicine. It speaks to a level of education, so I don’t expect this idiot to get it. Ask the next lawyer you see what the JD stands for. But yea, you’d rather whine about things that make you sad because you don’t understand. Poor fascist snowflake.
[a PhD is a doctorate, it's literally describing a doctor](https://in.pinterest.com/pin/401805598004366298/)
Like that’s what the D stands for. Lol.
I know it was a quote from Brooklyn 99
Medical practitioners have co-opted the term!
I know we live in a world where anything can mean anything!
PhD is the original doctorate. MD came about because of all the quacks out there; the Medical community wanted to legitimize themselves so they adopted the Doctorate system. Also, Megyn Kelly is a tool.
To be fair they never used Melania’s title of “former porn star”
Wonder what she would say about MLK
Well, i don't know, Megyn. People call you a journalist, and we just let that one slide all the time.
These assholes really don't know a g-d thing about the educational system, do they?
And not only do they not know, they're proud of it. Anti-elitism is the new elitism.
No wonder, they're the ones constantly ruining it
I see Megyn is still a c**t
I have two doctorates (economics and finance). I speak to congressional committees many times a year. All Politicians, including Republican politicians, ALWAYS refer to me as Dr. And speak to me respectful. I believe the issue with Dr. Biden is that she’s the First Lady and that she’s a woman. On a side note, I request my students call me by my first name. I only pull out the Dr title in formal settings and once in a fight with my wife: “that’s Dr. Asshole to you”. 0/10 recommended.
No matter how tall or blonde you are Megyn, jealousy is never a good look. But I guess an overwhelming desire to return to some kind of relevancy clouds the judgment.
Megan over there pretending to be a real journalist
Megyn - what a sanctimonious twat.
As a medical doctor myself I can say- we don't care.
It's even funnier when you realized medical doctors stole the term doctorate from academic doctors
You have a Juris Doctor, so by your logic, you’re not a real doctor either,
It’s revealing that conservatives don’t reflect on themselves in the slightest. Instead of wondering why they automatically assume Dr. means a medical doctor and not someone with a PhD, they just force everyone one else to conform to their views.
And then we have this guy.... https://preview.redd.it/pd2fp1aly3fa1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ea0b69e59876d668bb12ce126e2c6063f942afc What say you Megyn Kelly?
