Does anyone seriously believe Doug Ford is afraid of the media?
The word ‘expert’ has broad meaning today.
Many people are invited to discuss their experiences in areas like business, labour, medicine, opinion polls, politics and media. Some have a real depth of knowledge, while others engage audiences with tidbits of information.
Alas, many so-called experts are severely lacking when it comes to providing expertise.
A recent example is Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford’s decision to not have a campaign media bus during the upcoming provincial election. When media outlets went looking for experts for analysis on Ford’s decision, the analysis was lazy and predictable: Ford doesn’t want to face the media.
