He is the living symbol of the death of democracy. A free society can support a surprisingly high number of stupid people in important positions. It can at the same time support a similarly high number of evil people. What causes collapse is when people are both stupid AND evil.
This is the phenomenon I describe as #thickcuntocracy. Prominent positions in journalism (a vital component of a free society) and politics are captured by people who not only do active harm in those positions, but undermine the credibility of the institutional foundations.
No-one comes away from watching Dan Wootton thinking that OpEd and broadcast journalism are in a healthy state. So they might begin to turn away from credible sources of news media as well. And so the stupid and the evil corrode our society.
