Listen now to get the main key ideas from Andy Borowitz's Profiles in Ignorance.

Ignorance in politics has become a virtue, according to comedian and satirist Andy Borowitz. In Profiles in Ignorance (2022), Borowitz explains how the media clearly favors politicians who are entertaining and extreme, such as Donald Trump, rather than those who are actually intelligent. This development has been cooking for decades, which Borowitz documents by taking a look at politicians from Ronald Reagan to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Dumb politicians may lack knowledge and education, but they often have the charisma necessary to keep the media intrigued and win the support of the equally uneducated. Borowitz calls for Americans to wake up and do better, because the ignorant shouldn’t be running the country.
