Average Reporters

Lately I've been irritated by listening to reporters talk about "how X impacts average people." Who are these reporters to decide who is an average person. I hear that description of who they are talking to and all I can think is what an inflated ego that elitist reporter must have.

And average people like me need to know what average people say. As opposed to exceptional and remarkable people in the media! It seems like the logical inference from their statements. It's during these often pathetic "stories" that I'm amused because these same pieces mostly show what an average reporter I'm listening to.
