I am really concerned after reading Ann’s comments… Is my engineering degree from Cornell a real or not real “Ivy League” degree? She only mentioned the Arts school. LOL! I love Ann Coulter, because she says such inflammatory things and people actually take her seriously enough to get mad. That is the joke she is playing on all of the people that get upset, she is pointing out how stupid they are.

As a graduate of a “land-grant college” that also studied in Europe, I find Olbermann’s wearing of his degree on his chest, in much the same manner as Rachel Maddow crows about being a Stanford alum, far more offensive than Ann Coulter calling him on it. Living here in New Jersey, and seeing some of the “great minds” that have come out of places like Princeton, what their reactions must be when people like Olbermann, John Kerry, Al Gore or some of the other Ivy League graduates are featured.

To use an Ag school-related analogy, I guess politics and the media is where the waste products that are skimmed off the milk vats of education end up.

@ Budley-
You’re definitely right about the second part of the first statement, and definitely right about the second second statement. To my own dismay, I would have to say that Coulter’s mistakes here outweigh Keith’s.
But don’t fear! If you keep in touch with the Insider, I’m sure you’ll see plenty of KO-bashing in the future.

Olbermann padded his intellectual resume while at the same time publicly trashing someone else for not going to as prestigious a school as Cornell.

Olbermann deserves to be publicly spanked

Totally serious. On the Dept. of Communications website, there is spotlight on Dr. Jeff Hancock who is meant to discuss ‘how people use tools like Facebook to their advantage.’

Seeing as how I attended an alumni lecture by Hancock last year, you sure picked the wrong tree to bark at, buddy. Your criticism couldn’t be more off-base. Hancock specializes in understanding how the Internet medium differs in use from other social mediums, and how human experience is best translated onto the Internet.

So you can chide all you want, but I don’t think you are helping your case or your reputation on this board. These types of things would seem important to understand for web site designers and content creators (which a lot of Communication students go on to do), especially considering that this medium is so new. Not only that, but his research on digital deception has been applied to such disparate problems as monitoring Internet message boards for terrorist activity and combing through corporate email for instances of fraud/deception.

I suppose we wouldn’t want anybody studying things like that?

And for the record, it is the Department of Communication, not the Department of Communications.

I agree with Sara and Jordan. Opinion is fine, but don’t misrepresent the entire blog (and, by extension, the entire Review) by using “we.” This is not a matter of mere “pointless quibbling.”
