I found some fascinating points recently on a BBC news article that had an attached video. The article was about how online bloggers and youtubers are having more and more a say in people's lives. People are not looking to the media outlets as the only way to learn about news and events. Of course this would be bad news for BBC since they and other news outlets want to be the primary source, and sadly they are terribly biased. The majority of news outlets have far reaching left biases. In the video they posted there were images of popular online people and while showing these images they said, "ordinary people who don't have advanced degrees who aren't ordained who can post about their views and gain followers".

| Dr. Piper has no degree? |
Strangely, while saying this, they posted a picture of John Piper! That is... Dr. John Piper who was an ordained Pastor for decades, who also has a doctorate from Germany, and multiple published volumes.
This is a person without a degree who isn't ordained, and who we shouldn't respect as much because he's posting online?
It's certainly not a big deal as News Outlets make mistakes all the time, but it certainly is ironic that as they criticise online sources and their information that they make such a blatant error in their own compilation.
