Yes, they were. That the first reaction to them was to ignore them in favor of trashing the piece as more crap from the right is an example of the extent to which the problem has proliferated.

You've missed the important point about the almost unanimous reaction here, Karen. The first response was to say something like, the guy's right, political talk has gone to the proverbial dogs. Period. Stop. Then several of us entered into what makes his particular piece suspect and how that could have been improved.

If you thought you would get better from any place, SI or otherwise, you miss what's happened to political talk at least since Gingrich made his run against Michaels.
