Yeah, the NY Times seems to be what Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai. (At least for the PMC crowd I used to hang out with.)

Just today, I got a few belly laughs from reading Matt Taibbi's mockery of David Brooks ("priest of the elites") for calling for a mass movement to oppose Trump. And then, later today,when casually taking the temperature of a local TDS-infested list-serve, someone quoted the same article glowingly, without a trace of irony.

Thanks to JMG, this makes perfect sense to me now-- any self-described expert is massively threatened by Trump's rejection of standard "expert" opinion.
