On the website of the Center for American Progress, the pro-Obama group funded by billionaire George Soros, Matthew Yglesias conceded the point that Zinn's popular People's History book was "neither good history nor good politics, offering basically nothing in terms of ways to think about solutions to the problems of the world..." But he said it was nevertheless read by "most of the best people" and "that's a pretty impressive achievement."So the books a piece of crap but because "most of the best people" read it that makes it an impressive piece of crap.
Who decides who are the "best people"?
Don’t you know? The JounoListers decide who are the best people.
