Monday on MSNBC’s “Hardball” while discussing his New York Magazine article about Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump entitled “America Has Never Been So Ripe for Tyranny,” the former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan said Trump was a “reality television asshole,” to which host Chis Matthews apologized to his audience for at the end of the segment.

Yep. Sullivan demeaning a$$holes?
Is this the newest way to say “Trump is Hitler”? When will someone ask the figgin’ obvious of these idiots? ARE THEY SAYING TRUMP WILL KILL SIX MILLION JEWS? And if not, what the hell ARE they saying.
Sullivan - a queer radical. Let’s all listen to what he has to say. : )
“Sullivan - a queer radical. Let’s all listen to what he has to say”
I know. But he is on TV so people see and hear him. And he seems to reflect the MSM sentiments more than most.
Technically it’s TNR
The New Republic and
National Review
NR
But yes they have gotten very similar which is weird.....once they were quite different
National Review was just barely left of Bircherism
The New Republic was center to center left....Hubert Humphrey like in my era ..70s-80s
Krauthammer and Kondracke and Free Barnes and PJ O’Rourke all under Marty Peretz tutelage
I subscribed in late 70s......them and the Economist which was more conservative then
It was lib leaning no doubt but at the same time it was a well spring of neoconservatism as well...it contributed to NeoConservatism same as Podhertz or Kristols musings
Now it’s back to being leftist in total I think and even less supportive of Israel
Marty Peretz the long term owner was a Jewish lefty but hawk on Israel...he would not agree with that
It started as a progressive rag in Eugene Debs era I think
National Review is awful now....it’s just rudderless and bitter....unless it gets a firm hand it’s lost
In Buckleys early days it was the gold standard
Andrew Sullivan is a bit of an expert on a-holes.
A good summary.
I used to read The New Republic as well to see what mainstream liberals were interested in. And Commentary.
On the right, National Review, The American Spectator, Human Events. The life of a political junkie pre-internet.
Sometime in the ‘80s Chronicles became my favorite read. Leopold Tyrmand was still in charge. These days I don’t subscribe to even one political magazine.
Liberal goofball circle jerk/echo chamber.
True. He’s at the heart of the leftist media.
