The writer of Dr. X must be feeling high on themselves, thinking they've become some noble democratic activist

The more yesterday's broadcast causes controversy, the more the writer will be intoxicated with self-importance, acting as if they've become some kind of democratic activist.
Why are there so many leftists in the broadcasting and entertainment industry?
Because it looks cool.
It's like they feel they've become the protagonist in a sandcastle they saw as a child.
Furthermore, since we live in a peaceful and rational society now, they can act all cool without any actual worry of being illegally arrested or ostracized.
