Hate to see someone I respect as much as the Atlantic's Tom Nichols be blindly wrong. He keeps defending his presence on the deadbird site as some kind of resistance, even as he says he's cut back his political involvement there.
He's unwilling to see that by remaining, and participating, he's giving his support to someone who a) loathes honest journalism; and b) consistently amplifies and promotes vicious extremists.

I hope he'll see the reality some day.
