Contrariwise, Slatepitch led to an interesting publication with a range of views instead of the predictable, shrill, simpleminded dreck that has increasingly characterized Slate in recent years. Have you ever met an opposing opinion made in good faith, Jeet?

The old Slate was very beloved by its target audience: well-to-do white college grads of centrist politics. You need to understand that not everyone falls into that demographics.
