Michael, this last post is a bit better. At least there's something to talk about.
1. Josh Marshall's blog empire is a great many things. My guess is you rarely read it and don't know the full body of work.
His staff has done some terrific investigative reporting, it's a place to discuss relevant public issue books, a place for knowledgeable bloggers on important issues--Steve Clemons, Reed Hundt, Theda Skocpol, et al--to post, and, given your comments, one that is critical of dems and reps. He certainly has a pov. Bless him. One that neither makes him reliable or unreliable. It's his overall body of work that does so.
Moreover, I don't post things from Josh Marshall or Steve Benen or Kevin Drum here to post some sort of "truths". Only to offer them as something being said of interest.
My problem with Krauthammer isn't that he has a pov; it's that he's a hysteric. And that particular one has all the marks of the type. The argument simply gets lost.
2. On Treasury appointments, perhaps you wish to have a serious conversation. That's fine. Go for it.
For my part, I was only putting up that particular post to offer some more information. Anyone can read and not comment or comment. It's not the definitive word; just a word.
3. As for presenting yourself as a champion of "diversity of thought," it's hardly worth a response.
One last thought, however. You seem intent on dividing up the world into reliable conservatives and unreliable liberals. I don't think political discussions work that way. Thank heavens. There are some on each side. It's much more important to discuss the issues. Knowing that povs are one of the variables but not the only ones. |
