My point is that Weiss and all these journalists who have suddenly adopted the "free speech" cause are doing nothing but loudly complaining. They're throwing pieces of meat to their base. I honestly doubt that many liberals pay attention to her, after she was dragged through the mud when leaving the NYT. I feel like Weiss and the rest don't actually care about boosters, or free speech, or any of the things they so often complain about. They just say these things, and right wing media proclaims "oh look at these former left wing journalists agreeing with us, we're awesome", and then they use their newfound attention to sell books. At the end of the day these people would rather complain than actually do something. In fact, if the issues they complain about were solved, they probably wouldn't make nearly as much money. If Weiss is indeed widely read by center left folks, then that makes me very happy. It would indicate that maybe, just maybe, we do indeed have a chance of defeating the plague of "progressive" lunacy infecting the West. But there aren't really many signs of that yet. If it seems like I'm trolling I apologize, I'm just getting very disillusioned and cynical about the future of freedom in this country.
