By equating these two in the same sentence, you undermined all credibility in your previous message. Sorta sad to see an implosion like that.
- yummyfajitas 16y agoNot sure why you object. They are both cheerleaders for their respective teams, heavy on rhetoric, light on facts, willing to bend the truth, primarily preaching to the choir with appeals to emotion (intellectual smugness/moralism in Krugman's case, tribalism/moralism in Becks case). But I suppose I am being a bit unfair in one respect. Unlike Krugman, Beck is occasionally willing to admit that some of the other teams ideas are not that bad (e.g., gay marriage).
- BlazingFrog 16y agoWait, is Beck the guy who calls anything drawn on his blackboard "facts" and Krugman the guy who won that Nobel thingy?
