I never said that. I said every other jackass had a useless Ph.D.

Ph.D.s are becoming ubiquitous, and a great many of them are entirely useless. As a result, calling every jerkoff with a Ph.D. in "Comparative Latin American Studies", for example, "Dr.", would be absurd.
I also pointed out that we no longer live in the Middle Ages, and the title "doctor" is now meant to distinguish someone in the medical profession. "Professor" is just fine for those with Ph.D.s who are engaged in academics. Those who aren't can be Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms. like everyone else.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Dr. is the appropriate title for an M.D. only. Every other jackass these days has a useless Ph.D.

You're phrasing is rather ambigous then
