Credentialed but Uneducated

I am ostensibly middled-aged and so old enough to remember George Wallace.  Laura Bassett's ignorance and that of her editors at GQ Magazine were on full display in a recent article.

"While explaining the party’s historical support for legal abortion, Bassett used the example of Wallace as a Republican governor whose promotion of abortion was motivated by Republicans’ intent to stop “breeding children as a cash crop,” to collect more in government handouts. Only one problem: Wallace was one of the biggest 20th century stars of the Democratic Party, and by no means a Republican."
