"Rhodes comes off like a real asshole. This is not a matter of politics — I have voted for Obama twice. Nor do I mind Rhodes’s contempt for many political reporters: “Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

An absolutely true statement.

Oh, to own the replacement panty concession in DC. A license to print money these days.

“Rhodes comes off like a real asshole.”

Perhaps the reason being that he in fact IS a real asshole?

Unfortunately, someone like this can manipulate the weak-minded mid-2000’s journalism majors who cover politics, and he is fully aware of this. I read the entire article, and it is very depressing, in its description of the present state of “journalism”.
