I don’t have one. I haven’t studied the matter enough to form an intelligent or defensible position — and I wasn’t there to develop an opinion in real time like I am now.
Hey Jordan -
So…one email exchange in and I’m already not sure I can keep going. lol.
Seriously, though. After we discussed the Muslim ban, I felt off. The more I sat with it, the more uncomfortable I became with the idea that I was somehow…
I think we continue to have a misunderstanding about the concept of “objectivity.” Criticism has its place, but not in proper journalism. That’s my argument in a nutshell.
Hey Jordan —
Timely question given Flynn news this week.
You really should read that Economist piece. I’ve just started reading The Economist and I’ve become a big fan. Really thoughtful weekly. There’s also a good Frontline on…
