#4 Actually, the Times' Natalie Angier is (was) excellent.

Natalie Angier received an impressive education:

Angier began her college studies at age 16 at the University of Michigan. After completing two years at the University of Michigan, she studied English, physics, and astronomy at Barnard College, where she graduated magna cum laude in 1978. She also studied medieval literature post graduation.

But we all know that a who studied physics and graduated in 1978 must be a privileged and fragile 'Karen,' so screw her.
