Traditionally, salaried professional, office-oriented jobs for college graduates were called "white collar." Upton Sinclair coined the phrase in the 1930’s. On the other hand, "blue collar" workers were those who didn’t attend college or attended a trade school and entered manual labor roles such as construction. “New-collar” jobs are hybrid roles. They are generally salaried professional positions, but do not require a college degree and instead may only need specialized training after high school, for example for software development or programming.
“I’m not going to college, dad. I can start at a $100,000+ with a new-collar role in mainframe security programming.”

Get the Fox News mug.Someone who says inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic statements in a news broadcast or at least on television or radio broadcasts, with the primary intent of provoking listeners into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. This is done to distract from the actual issues and to get the News Troll's name repeated in other news forums or shows in order to remain relevant and to sell their books to their listening audience, the people who want to believe that the ridiculous things that News Trolls state are true .
News Trolls like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, or other supposed "news" media commentators that actually spread propaganda and misinformation campaigns instead of actual news stories for people that don't consider reality good enough for them and/or believe that critical thinking and facts are either "liberal biased", or "left wing". Anyone trying to instill fear, anger, or distract from the real issues of the day is a News Troll.
