Media intellectual
A media intellectual is a relatively new term used to describe famous figures online who present themselves as being part of the intellectual elite. While they are right about a lot of things, they can be dead wrong as well and not called out so much on it. The reason for this is that they have usually gathered a cult-like fan base that will defend them no matter what.

So even if Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, or Slavoj Zizek may seem like they have all the answers, they just don’t. Remember people, be critical thinkers, do the research and shape your own, educated opinions. In the end, you won’t be fooled so easily by these thought-leaders and media personalities of the new age.
