    I agree with most of this. The point about Friedman and Frum is correct & telling.https://twitter.com/notjessewalker/status/982272102009995266 …

    1. I'm going to make a probably-doomed attempt to turn the Kevin Williamson debate in a constructive direction. So here's a question: What do people actually expect to get out of opinion journalism?

        Not sure about takes which detach entirely from Williamson's violent misogyny and fully into the realm of abstract media theory

        he describes (prescribes?) a model that looks like an old oak table in the bowels of a newspaper surrounded by thinkers of all stripes. & our current model means i hafta buy lots of different papers to get the same effect...

        Based on Jesse Walker's (1 of) 3 things an opinion columnist should do, even Paul Krugman would fail the test

        'Center-woke tweeters' minimizes the objection to Williamson imo. I think women found Williamson's vitriol frightening and profoundly disqualifying.

        5. So mull that: What do you actually expect to get out of opinion journalism? If there is such a thing as an op-ed worth reading, what does it look like?

        Where are the points about Friedman and Frum? See only four entries, they are not mentioned?

        The thread is broken in multiple places so to read the whole thing you'd need to go to the original author's profile. That being said entry 5 seems to be missing. Possibly others too, but I stopped looking.

        is it possible that we're in a "Post Op-Ed" era? Seems like more comes out of news analysis and long form pieces meant to make a point. I'm struggling to think of the last non-guest written Op-Ed that was noteworthy for being good, rather than noteworthy for being derided.

        Opinion journalism is the bane of our existence, and what people expect from it is the dubious pleasure of sniffing their preferred buttholes while sniffing at the buttholes of their enemies.
