I'll outsource the
details to Weigel, as I'm mostly blogged out as I said, but I'll just add that this is another version of Above It All Journalism. You know, because after decades of living in this world and failing to actually form any discernible opinions about anything, with mere "hours of journalistic research" I am uniquely qualified to pass judgment on any subject. People who have actual opinions on things are probably guilty of knowing too much about them, and they should respect my expert authoritah. Or something.
