The author is casting a wide net when he describes various follks as “the same general ideological world view as Jeb Bush, George Will, Rupert Murdoch, Wall Street Journal, etc.”
Human Events has been around for a lot longer thgan Salem Communications, and the tone hasn’t changed all that much. Pat Buchanan and Walter Williams are hardly pals of John Ellis Bush and George Will. Other writers like Ann Coulter and Michael Barone may be more establishment, but neither appear to take marching orders from the like of John Ellis Bush.
I am suspicious of anyone who claims to be the one wearing the “clear glasses”. I like Free Republic in large part because this site puts it ALL out there, and I get to view through my own glasses. If they aren’t clear, it’s because I haven’t wiped them.
The Establishment is the Establishment; I imagine it all boils down to who has how much money at stake if Jeb wins and Trump loses.
