      The deeper structural factor is that the people who cover politics occupy a narrow ideological spectrum ("moderation") that is a thin slice of the actually existing American political spectrum. This leads to a lot of bad reporting and those moderates need to listen to critics.

      it's not like the non-editorial and non-political-reporters at these news organizations are a representative sample of american political opinion

      The phrasing was meant to be provocative but the point is serious. The ideological horizon of people who do political reporting is very, very narrow compared to actual current politics. This has led to poor reporting of both Trumpist right & Sanders style left.

      I suppose one man's provocative phrasing is another man's trolling. But the point stands: "moderation" in political reporting carries with it a set of blinders as much as any other ideological coloration.

          This seems like a common sense point that Yglesias would normally agree with. I do not understand what is happening!

          Jeet they all know each other very well from their brunches and cocktail parties and secret listservs, and they collectively assure you that they have as broad an ideological spectrum as anyone.

          Your phrasing+ your point seemed sensible Both you + Yglesias are able to troll at any moment but I don't see the objection here--and MY didn't give any reason for objecting
