What if those journalists had instead come out and said that miners are not smart enough to code. They would have gotten even more hate probably by the very same people. So you lose either way.

Are journalists smart enough to code? More relevantly, are they smart enough to accurately inform the general public about the topics they cover? The commonality of Gel-Mann amnesia suggests otherwise.
Simple. Don't say either way.
How often do we see "learn to code" as a solution to jobs that have gone away for whatever reason? Over the past ~15 years I've seen it almost everywhere as literally the only advertised option for people whose profession has vanished.
All I am saying is I wish as much was invested into other re-training options as we've seen put into learn to code programmes.
