“Because it is childish and makes FR look unprofessional.”

No, I don’t think that was the reason.

“There are better ways to express that an article is slanted and biased to the left.”

Not in the headline there isn’t.

Lighten up, Francis.

To a discerning conservative that title literally screams slanted and biased to the left.

The title itself is enough to get a bs meter redlining.

For run of the mill discerners perhaps a childish immature addition is needed.

Study up on leftist “news” orgs and their use of titles to show their bias.

They are pretty stupid in the way they out themselves.

It’s America. You have the right to be completely humorless. You’ve apparently made that choice.

Sorry talking mule, I am not into beavis and butthead/bart simpson “humor.”

Maybe “eat my shorts” should be added to the title.

You’re dismissed.

He did. But so did James Baker and a few other less than stellar Establishment hacks.

It was a tongue-in-cheek effort—I “supported” Trump only because I thought he would lose to Hillary Clinton, disastrously,

Such a person deserves only ridicule.

The only statement in this article I agree with is the fact that National Review has substantially declined in substance and style over the past several decades. It is indeed a big step down from intellectual giants like Kirk and Burnham to nobodies like Rich Lowry, Jonah Goldberg, Ramesh Ponnoru, Ben Shapiro, and Kevin Williamson.

Unfortunately for the point that Bruce Barlett is trying to make, the mental featherweights on this list are all NeverTrumpers, just like Bartlett himself.

“...his branch of the Republican Party has taken control...”

Thank God!
