MATT TAIBBI: The Atlantic Compares Walter Kirn to Donald Trump: The latest “What happened to you, man?” piece goes next-level. “The Atlantic churned out a paint-by-numbers hit piece on my friend Walter Kirn this week, and yes, I’m pissed about it. Really, is there no end to this nastiness? The chief complaint of ‘The Blindness of Elites’ is that Walter, formerly well-regarded smart person, spends too much time complaining about ‘elites’ instead of Donald Trump.”

The elites suck, people are. noticing, and those who are paid to keep people from noticing are turning up the volumne.
