In the estimation of some, Nick Davies is Britain's greatest living journalist. Now watch at 8:53. Nick is forced to half the flow of his lecture and say "will you children at the back please be quiet? Or go outside." Welcome to a British University. The students chatting at the back have the appetites of adults but the brains of children. They're in the room with a marvellous reporter and they couldn't care less.

At the very beginning, Nick has to tell the front row to be quiet. Then, at 9:00, he has to press pause and ask "will you children at the back please be quiet?" Welcome to the Media Department at a British University.

@mlcheese If Nick Davies opened your eyes, Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky & Ed Hermann will blow your mind. The documentary of the same name is pretty awesome also
