To Be Carefully Studied at Martha's Vineyard


CBS News: Will Rahn on "The Unbearable Smugness of the Press." An excerpt:

Journalists increasingly don’t even believe in the possibility of reasoned disagreement, and as such ascribe cynical motives to those who think about things a different way. We see this in the ongoing veneration of “facts,” the ones peddled by explainer websites and data journalists who believe themselves to be curiously post-ideological.
