      I REALLY believe that reporting, and understanding the mechanics of political reporting, are the path to great work — even if your ambition is writing essays/takes, or editing. I think that for everyone, including conservatives.

      As I've said before, focus on pundits ignores fact that heart of journalism is reporters. National Review has done a good job of grooming reporters who go on to work for MSM (Costa, Alberta, Woodruff). We need more of that.

          One of the historical functions of little magazines is to serve as a training ground for young writers to develop their chops. The New Republic has also groomed some fine writers (and a few dingbats).

          If, after this announcement, we end up with headlines announcing proclaiming another gas attack by Assad against his own people, do not believe it. He may be a tyrant, but he’s not an idiot. The US leaving his country is good for him, and a gas attack prevents the US exit. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/981535046443110400 …

          Didn't Williamson get his start as a newspaper reporter?

          Part of the argument for Williamson was that he does do real reporting & not just chin pulling.
