Yep

Class War Media

What Lambert said.

While Ezra has his occasional moments, he’s now pretty much a classic case of media co-option. He gets so distracted by the details of policy that he far too often simply misses the larger point. Too bad.

    With no malice intended, I believe you miss the point yourself. Young Ezra is paid to miss the point.

    Oh, and here I thought that’s what “co-opt” meant!

    Klein is so “innocent” he may even not know he’s corrupt.

    Yes, but you also said “he gets so distracted by the details of policy,” which I think should have said “he gets so distracted by those who sign his paycheck.” In other words, you sort of take back (and certainly qualify) what you said in your first sentence, which to me is letting him off the hook.
