"Journalists... challenge the establishment, while conservatives want to conserve it."
There is a style of blogging (and of blurb journalism in print) that might be described as "pull-quoting with ironic caption." It's most satisfying when the person being quoted is humorless and self-important, the quote banal and vapid. At this game, Matt Welch has no equal. Added bonus: "a typically open-minded quote from Eric Alterman." Good for a chuckle.
