      1. Yglesias is exactly right. Among the democracies America has a very narrow political spectrum & elite media is ever narrower. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/978715282662404096 …

      2. It's telling that elite media tries to answer critique of lack of diversity by promoting Never Trump conservatives, which is a kind of Faux-diversity since most NT conservatives falls within elite consensus.

          3. I value some of the Never Trump crowd because they have valuable hard-won insights into movement conservatism (@RadioFreeTom, @davidfrum) but that's different than the intellectual diversity argument.

          4. This is a fair point. "Never Trump" is broad category & runs from people well to the right of Trump (Williamson) to those much closer to center (Frum/Brooks).https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/978719922812542977 …

          I would submit that making #NeverTrump your definition of "elite consensus" is a big category error given the extreme ideological diversity of NeverTrumpers.

          5. But Williamson aside, the Never Trump people who get promoted tend to be on the more moderate end of things & in general opposing Trump is a kind of elite litmus test, a way of proving respectability.

          6. I think way out of faux-diversity is to remove Trump as litmus test & look to writers from outside elite consensus: paleo-cons, theocrats, anarchists, socialists, radical feminists etc. Some more thoughts here:https://newrepublic.com/article/147240/myth-times-intellectual-diversity …

          7. It's true that there are liberals & leftists who can't abide any right-of-center writer. But I know many liberals & leftists that admire Douthat, Caldwell, Applebaum, Frum, Andrew Coyne, Cathy Young, etc. https://twitter.com/TPCarney/status/978732163062431746 …

          8. I do think that liberals and conservatives are too focused on opinion pages, when real meat of newspapers & magazines is reporting.

          9. I think there's good reason for newspapers to hire right-of-center reporters. The good news is National Review has been good at training reporters that get hired elsewhere: Betsy Woodruff, Tim Alberta, Robert Costa.

          10. I think the value of writers like Woodruff is they have connections with GOP that facilitate reporting on the right & they are also good reporters. That's what we need more of.

          Is Kevin Williamson part of the "elite consensus"?
