From Ezra's column:
"One of my favourite moments at the Halifax conference was when a student asked a question, and in his preamble he mentioned that he transferred out of journalism school when he realized all he was being taught was political ideology, like Miller’s – he wasn’t being taught how to truly become a reporter. I thought that was a fascinating anecdote."
Not too surprising since one school of journalism (Carlton Univ.) perennially ranks at or near the bottom of Canadian universities (hence the term "last chance U") and the Miller teaches at what is essentially "Ry High".
