William F. Buckley, Jr.

Ezra Klein sums up the state of modern political media:
Where we once prized a tremendous facility for wit, we’re now elevating
those with a tremendous storehouse for anger. Run a search on quotes from
Galbraith, Buckley, or Friedman, then do the same for O’Reilly and Coulter.
We’re really losing something here. And we don’t even have Molly Ivins around to
wrest it back.

I had to Google Molly Ivins. O'Reilly had my interest early on, but now he and Coulter have grown very old in my book. There is a great deal of negativity in regards to their rhetoric.
