The Left has understood the intrinsic value of controlling the national narrative through the media for a long time now. Conservatives have never assigned the proper value to money-losing enterprises like newspapers & magazines. Hopefully, they'll start picking up these financially failing properties and start using them as propaganda tools just like everyone else. My god, the Russians knew before the fucking Republicans.

Ask the people who work at the WaPo or Fox, they think they're reasonable. Unless "reason" can be programmed into a computer, it's not logical. (Read my book; I describe "liberty binaryism.")

He's talking about Reason magazine, a libertarian publication.

A korean libertarian would still need the government to protect him from dog bites as he drops them into the boiling water.

Objectivity and reason doesn't sell.

People want culprits and reinforcement to their own ideas.

Objective reality would be too confusing.
