I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. I've seen and heard not a whisper from our lords and master or from the media mouthpieces or the sanctioned gadflies about the ludicrousness of lowered standards for the Didn't Earn Its. I've heard it from a handful of small-time podcasters or pundits, but not from anyone who has a staff or advertisers.

The bureaucracy protecting itself isn't mentioned, either, but that's because that behavior is taken for granted.

Yeah, I washed out my eyes with lye afterwards. But I’ll probably have to soak my brain in bleach as well.
