But that is exactly why Fox News will weather this. Half this board will just turn into Hannity to see how they should think about this issue. Wait for Trump's next tweet to find the way they should engage in the cognitive dissonance process for this story.


Dude. Some of these guys are friends, can you not annihilate them like that? It's just a message board.

bonehoeffer, this board is the equivalent of DU or the msnbc forums (if they exist?)

Partisans will always stick to hardcore sources.

One reason WSJ isn't linked more often is because of the paywall.

what makes the editorial section (which forms the VAST majority of clicks on a news site) of national review, wsj, daily caller, the federalist, reason, etc any different than the editorial section of nyt and wapo?



I mean first off standards, quality of contributors, and accountability is typically what differentiates editorial boards from one another.

I would say The Economist, The Weekly Standard, and Reason are at a much different quality then The Fedarlist and The Daily Caller. Russ Roberts is of a different quality then Sean Hannity.

Because by that standard ANY thesis thus far is baseless.

Love him (Russ, not Hannity). Just loaned one of his books to a friend of mine, actually.

I met Russ at a seminar a few years ago. Very cool dude.

I very much enjoy his podcasts.

I say this as someone that has a lot of fundamental and stark disagreements with him when he moves into the contentious macro-economic policy realm(though plenty I have agreements with as well), but I think he puts in a good effort at being intellectually honest with his audience, acknowledging opinion he has formed as not dogmatic fact, and promoting quality discussion with his guests and giving them a fair shake.

.....You also asked what sort of things differentiates the NYTimes editorials from, say, The Daily Caller, only one of those sites employed Russ Roberts as a regular contributor on their editorial pages for several years.

They make it easy to get around though. You used to be able to just google the article title but they put an end to that. Now you can get full articles from following their links on Twitter.

The Washington Post(and many X number of articles per month sites) can be worked around by accessing them in incognito mode. I just have a subscription to the WSJ and Post though. So that may have changed with the Post. You'll have to check.

Though I suspect it will only be a short while til they adapt what the Boston Globe started doing and disabling article access when in private mode.
