From what I have seen he calls himself a conservative commentator. Furthermore he is a pillar of the conservative establishment. I would never expect him to say anything that was not the "party line".
That's my point. If he's a "pillar of the conservative establishment", and I have no reason to doubt you, it's crystal clear just what the conservative establishment is; they are nothing more than a group of recidivist liars.
That makes it all the more puzzling as to why anyone would vote for them, let alone defend them.
What Eric Alterman wrote;
"How else to explain that nearly every time a major issue confronts the nation, his analysis is not merely wrong but spectacularly so, and always in the same direction, regardless of evidence or expertise"
holds so much import for the country as a whole. Nothing he says has any basis in fact. How can this be good for America? How can this be good for the citizenry of the USA?
Why is he, and he's hardly the only one, it's rampant among conservative commentators, allowed to go on so blatantly lying to all.
