Dr. Oz wants to be one of the Kool Kids:
Turns out, he wasn’t cancelled, the headline writer didn’t follow their own style guide:
The day after Oz announced his candidacy, The Inquirer’s front-page headline, photo caption, and first sentence all referred to Dr. Oz. That goes against the paper’s style guide, which reads: “Do not use Dr. on first reference for anyone with the title, whether they are a medical doctor or have a doctorate in a nonmedical field, to avoid complaints of unequal treatment from individuals who worked hard to achieve doctorates in nonmedical fields.” It specifies just two exceptions: obituaries, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Sorry, Oz, no special treatment for you, except whatever New Jerseyans get when running for office in Pennsylvania.

Some people go to med school to be healers. Some go to med school to be entrepreneurs. You make your own decision on whose motives and values you trust.

He cancelled himself, since FCC equal time rules apply to this situation.

They probably went with that style because most people don’t know his name is Mehmet. Dr. Oz is a brand, like Dr. Pepper, Dr. Demento, etc. If Phil McGraw ran for office (grid help us) they would call him Dr. Phil. It’s a newspaper, not a legal document.

This should be the standard spectrum for measuring GQP candidates, between prune juice and repetitive radio comedy, both pillars of their brand.
