Centrist Pundits both-sidesing ICE murder [View all]

David Brooks "everyone is too blinded by ideology to see the truth of what the video shows"

This is insane. Brooks says everyone is too blinded by ideology to see the truth of what the video shows. Then the host asks him what it shows and he refuses to answer.

“Left and right are equally to blame for everything all the time” is also an ideology!

Thank you TCW for this instant classic of Harper’s Letter sophistry, explaining that the categories "right" & "left" are unhelpful in understanding a campaign of kidnappings & assassinations undertaken by an ultra-right wing secret police force at the behest of an ultra-right wing political regime

Noting for the record that Thomas Chatterton Williams is not out on a limb on this one. In the University of Austin faculty lounge, it's all aboard the both-sides express
