Self-confessed hater, Jonathan Chait says below that they are. I add some comments below that — JR
In a paper they wrote about the ideological leanings of blog readers and news-watchers, Henry Farrell, Eric Lawrence and John Sides find that conservatives tend to read only conservative blogs, while most liberals read only left-leaning blogs. [...]

Last week, with an “Assignment America” report on the CBS Evening News, Steve Hartman perpetrated a perfect example of why the media simply has no credibility on any subject, even humor. Hartman’s report was not only dishonest, but missed the main point by a fair margin.
To set his [...]

This is a bit of an old chestnut: Are Leftists more intelligent than conservatives? Leftists often assert that Leftists are brighter. Conservatives tend to see it otherwise. As Wray Herbert points out, it would be surprising if one did not see one’s own views as more intelligent. So who [...]

A couple of months ago I celebrated an important anniversary.
Thirty years sober. After having been given a grim prognosis of two months to live if I continued down that self-destructive road of alcoholism. Against all odds, against that long, irrefutable history of previously broken promises and humiliating failures, somehow, with a lot of help, I [...]

A lot of people were dismayed a few weeks ago by the behavior of “Palestinians” –not just the butchers of this huge turtle, but the gleeful, sadistic kids and others watching the slaughter– on the Gaza beach. Sure, sea-turtle blood just might be a great cure for asthma, and the Zionist blockade has rendered these [...]

Science has a good reputation in our society and it has that for a good reason: It gets results. Lots of opportunistic people look on that reputation with jealous eyes, however. They want that reputation for themselves and to prop up their own beliefs. So they go into a [...]

Rather odd to see in the WSJ an essay by Thomas Frank, that well known hater of American working-class people (particularly in Kansas). And in his essay he tries to strike back at the many people who have accused him of elitism. He does that mainly by linking people who dislike [...]

Many have reported on this ridiculous LA Times story (Times Poll: Californians narrowly reject gay marriage) about how Californians “just barely” support retaining the definition of marriage in the state (Truth: Marriage wins by 19%, 54-35), but I need to point something else out.
The “journalist” makes up the following “fact”:
