President Obama, who of course received high praise from his fans at Vox for his interview (among many other things), profiled the Vox demographic:
Obama to Ezra Klein re: Vox: “You guys are, I guess, for the brainiac-nerd types."

Obama says Vox is for the "brainiac-nerd types." Melissa Harris Perry thinks she's a nerd. I thought nerds were supposed to be smart.

We can now look forward to a Voxsplaination about how Obama totally got that right!
THEY'RE JUST TOO SMART. RT @charliespiering Obama to Ezra Klein re: Vox: “You guys are, I guess, for the brainiac-nerd types."

Glue a PoliSci diploma and horned-rimmed glasses on a chimpanzee.
Voila! Instant "brainiac nerd-type."— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) February 9, 2015
@iowahawkblog back in my day, a "brainiac nerd-type" actually had to get it right in order to be referred to as such.

I think Vox is awful and does an enormous disservice to journalism, so I guess I'm not a brainiac 🙁

There's nothing wrong with "nerds."
It's the dumb people who think they're "nerds" that are the problem.

Obama's "brainiac" remark is revealing. A big problem of the left is they really believe theyre smart enough to manage every aspect of life.

It depends on what your definition of “brainiac nerd type” is:
