Another great piece. Thanks for writing it. You continue to be one of the few left of center intellectuals who is truly committed to diagnosis as opposed to reflexive and repetative rejectionism.

Another great piece. Thanks for writing it. You continue to be one of the few left of center intellectuals who is truly committed to diagnosis as opposed to reflexive and repetative rejectionism. As a footnote to this article I offer up my admittedly anectodal observation that liberal Europeans seem to hold oversimplifed views of American Politics. In particular liberal Europeans seem to be the only public body left standing that maintains high trust in traditional American corporate news outlets. Probably because the dissident outlets have emerged primarily in the new media, and Europeans have enough on their minds just navigating the challenges new media brings to bear just in their own local and national politcs. It seems to me that European citizens are blindsided by the current situation precisely for this reason, and their politicians probably respond accordingly. When I muse over how the American media outlets survive at all, I sometimes think that their foreign reach may be the last thread that is holding them together as Americans get wiser to their failure.
