Do journalists only hate prog because they are too stupid to process longer songs, or is it their ego can't stand that the artists are smarter than them?

Easy target.
It's been the music culture whipping boy since the 80s. No one is going to come to its defense in critic circles.

I don't care but that's a cool illustration

Prog is artistically retarded though. It's compositions are fundamentally reactionary traditionalism and lack the boundary pushing of various avant garde musical movements at the time of its inception. Technicality is for brainlets. Prog is the equivalent of an old fat baby boomer

King Crimson, Yes, and Gentle Giant (and if they count, soft machine) are the only good prog bands, if they stay away from them I'm good
David Baker
They hate it because it's lacking black influence.
Like this retard said, "reactionary traditionalism", aka drawing influence from European classical/folk instead of African-American blues/jazz.

How do I get into real prog?
I listened ITCOTCK and some Pink Floyd albums
Luke Miller
Combination of both. It's funny, because if critics are so smart and (supposedly) know what good music is, they'd be making it
