Back in December, when I sent in my annual membership fee, I had two thoughts. The first was “I hope this lives up to what they’re saying it’s going to be” (it has) and the second was “They have to hire Jane Coaston”. If you can’t do that, how about a weekly column or article or a podcast?
Another commenter here made reference to her being a “leftist type”. I’ve listened to her on Vox’s The Weeds podcast for years....that she works at Vox doesn’t make her a leftist. She’s been remarkably silent on her personal point of view to the point of saying “we’re not going there” when asked point blank about her politics. Good journalism is good journalism and she specializes in observing and writing about conservatism. What else do we need?
Also: between Jane today and David last evening on the Live Dispatch, I’d say “the conversation” we’re all supposed to be having is happening here. Love it!
I love Jane. She knows what she’s talking about and how to be persuasive by appealing to joint values of liberty and accountability.
