was he even there for a year

[powderfinger]

I just hope he has an editor that refuses to allow post titles that begin with "Here's..."

Barro -> NYT

gutsy hire for Leonhart, who also hired two super sharp political scientists (Nyhan and Vavreck)

I'm thinking NYT's politics coverage will be vastly superior to whatever 538 come up with

[powderfinger]

538, NYT, and Klein are all looking for roughly the same type of people and you have to wonder how deep the talent pool is

and the post, and the WSJ

IMO Silver's journalism never went beyond a good political science blog

I have lowest expectations for his thing

[genghis sean]

[numbers go up]

[numbers go up]

WHAT

[numbers go up]

YES

[numbers go up]

[husbands]

fox vs vox

NYT's new politics project is gonna be better than either

letting wonkblog cover movies is the worst idea I've ever heard

[delgriffith]

(Fedora not included).

[delgriffith]

Wait, the website should totally be called Fedora Not Included.

[The Dirty Turtle]

man how bad are you getting run over in a negotiation when you show up with this stable of writers and vox media names the site...vox
that is a beat down

[adamtrask]

oh boy.

VOX: how many ivy league econ BAs does it take to put on a fedora

[genghis sean]

a team of young union-skeptical white people fresh out of the ivy leagues in an operation paid for by general electric.

truly the dawning of a new media age and a new type of journalism, to be sure.

[The Dirty Turtle]

im nervous about and ready to hate this thing based on the degree to which ezras been willing to embrace the worst tendencies of social media
but at the same time, all these people are liberal, and if this thing becomes a ubiquitous, fine...there is no conservative talent pool that could respond to this if they do it right

i hope its good

[rex]

is this a kickstarter video?

I think it's an advertisement for GE actually

[The Dirty Turtle]

i see sean and i saw this a bit differently

[genghis sean]

vox is entirely indicative of the reason why adolph reed, and what he is saying, is more important than ever



if these people represent 'liberalism', than what the fuck does liberalism really even mean or stand for anymore. you're not conservatives, well great.

this is just walter lippmann elite liberal-centrist paternalism all over again.
