You can take issue with the article but it's bizarre that people are calling Peter Baker's son a "nepo baby," a term coined to describe why so many Hollywood stars are children of Hollywood stars. Like, oh no, Theo Baker might enter the lucrative, dynamic world of...journalism?
It's a psychosis of the meritocracy-obsessed American upper-middle class that it's now considered scandalous to enter the same line of work as your parents, the standard career choice for most people throughout human history and across much of the world today.
@JakeAnbinder What if I just kinda hate Peter baker?
@JakeAnbinder He wrote an article that people are reading and talking about. So he is succeeding in doing what journalists do.
@JakeAnbinder I’m confused - are you suggesting that Baker’s parents are, what: hardscrabble journalists? That he’s just some working class hero whose parents are proud that long hours at the copy desk and doing good ol’ shoe-leather reporting have finally paid off? Are you kidding?
