Excellent comment here from Dave Greene on the ongoing Alex Kaschuta saga. I am sympathetic to the view that there are some things rotten in MAGA world, but dispariaging your friends in this space to the New York Times [or any comparable publication], without even getting 30 peices of silver for your trouble, is deeply wrong.

Here is a sample of the comment that I’m giving should the New York Times ever come knocking to ask if I want to denounce former podcast guests that I don’t agree with. “I’m greatful to [guest] for appearing on my and sharing his forthwrightly his views; it’s a normal aspect of intellectual discussion that people sometimes disagree. I have made my views on the policies of the [insert controversy] well known, and stand by those views. Please do not publish any element of my comments without expressing to your readers that I do not wish to be quoted in your publication”.
