      6. I've complained before about ideological narrowness of Washing Post liberal columnists (who tend to hug the center). Same true of right

      8. Post does have one heterodox figure: the excellent libertarian Radley Balko. Otherwise straight GOP establishment types.

      9. The Washington Post doesn't need to hire pro-Trump columnists but should hire columnists who understand Trump's base.

      10. If I edited Washington Post (lol) I'd poach someone from American Conservative, which has better sense of the diversity of the right

      11. Writers like @ScottMcConnell9, @DanielLarison, @ToryAnarchist, @SWGoldman have a much better sense of GOP base than Post's stable.

      12. I have to say, even though I often tease him, one of @DouthatNYT's strengths is he has awareness of intellectual diversity of right.

      @HeerJeet What about the novel idea of columnists who do reporting, rather than relying on their knowledge of people already in their orbit?

      15. So: coming to terms with political upheaval means not just David Brooks intermingling with hoi polloi but more even more drastic changes

          @HeerJeet 1. The purpose of the NYT & WaPo columnists is not to inform or enlighten. It is to reflect and validate beliefs of core audience.

          @HeerJeet 2. People don't read Brooks, Collins, Dowd to learn. They read to feel their narrow worldview affirmed.

          @marcos_gun @HeerJeet I’m pro-Adams. Anti-Jackson. But Adams is as much lost as any cause.
