It’s a problem that many media critics are white men of a certain age and similar background and personality. I don’t have to point you to anything said today, it’s always a problem.
I know several of these guys well. Individually many are very good. But it's the sameness of tone, the same lane of competition in which they want to distinguish themselves that is problematic. And just a blinkeredness to whole issues/parts of media.
This is particularly acute problem among media columnists. But it's also a problem among media reporters and whatever the right term is for Rosen/Jarvis-type scholars/critics.

In all cases way over-indexed to white men.
