what did you see in that "vanity fair" piece? more media criticism than i do these days. 15 years ago i coined the phrase conservatives in the mist reporting which was a tendency you see "the new york times" magazine and "vanity fair" where they would go off into deepest, darkest real america and meet actual conservatives and they would write about them the way people would write about the gorillas in the mist. they are just like us and care for their young. a condescending way of describing conservatives as not quite wholly human but a little -- also sort of surprisingly life like, too. this genre exhausts me and happens all the time. a flip side to it, the sort of 19th century version of it where the gorillas are terrible and monstrous and every conservative they meet is a clansman or neo-nazi. this "vanity fair" piece cut in the middle of it in the sense the reporter literally knows nothing as far as i can tell about the distinctions that exist on the right. so people like me, brett stevens from "the new york times," but also
