It is about an insecure Community College teacher that demands to be called 'Doctor" and is being fawned over by the Liberal Left.
The AP Style Guide on the use of "Doctor' by the media:
* Use Dr. in first reference as a formal title before the name of an individual who holds a doctor of dental surgery, doctor of medicine, doctor of optometry, doctor of osteopathic medicine, doctor of podiatric medicine, or doctor of veterinary medicine: Dr. Jonas Salk.
* If appropriate in the context, Dr. also may be used on first reference before the names of individuals who hold other types of doctoral degrees. However, because the public frequently identifies Dr. only with physicians, care should be taken to ensure that the individual’s specialty is stated in first or second reference.
* Do not use Dr. before the names of individuals who hold only honorary doctorates.
* Do not continue the use of Dr. in subsequent references.
