Jonah Says Whom to Ignore

Faced with the statistic that college newspapers have endorsed Obama over McCain 63 to 1, wise man Jonah Goldberg says college students are stupid and should be ignored.
Obama is the flavor of the moment and college newspaper editors are as prone to faddishness as college kids generally. I find it hilarious how much respect many readers have for the intellectual chops of these kids. Having been to dozens of campuses this year alone, let me tell you that college newspaper workers (I was an editor myself) are not a superior breed of student. Some are impressive. Many aint. Most are just younger versions of grown-up journalists, only more liberal, more self-important, more emotional and more resentful that people don't care enough about what they have to say.
