      @jonathanchait I think the category error here is talking about left and right, when really we’re talking about is how media should function. In particular, Jonathan is dedicated to the idea that media must be superior to left or right-sticking its finger in both eyes equally. Some thoughts…

    @jonathanchait This has all been said by me and others a thousand times, but just being prominent, urbane, and witty doesn’t make one liberal. Indeed, Chait is a highly reactionary figure who uses largely illusory liberal credentials to launder lies and some ugly views into the mainstream. @augustf/1585809248801656832

      @jonathanchait Like the whole sequences of absurd rumors and outright lies he decided to launder off a disgruntled employee blog: @augustf/1587597881313300481

        @jonathanchait Incidentally, the “I’m a liberal Democrat, but for obscurantist reasons I support the superiority of insiders that consistently promote right-wing outcomes” schtick always cashed out as Chait finding a way to feel superior to everyone. Which is the only point he’s ever had.
