Do you expect to see the current regime in North Korea fall within your lifetime?

You can check my post history and see I can't stand Trump.

But only follow Seth Abramson if you want confirmation bias. He is only one step removed from people like Louise Mensch. He writes long threads on the investigation when he often has no clue what he's talking about. Often, if a journalist so much as conjectures about a hypothetical, Abramson will start citing it as certain fact.

You won't learn anything from him. Only hear what you want to hear.

Virtually every newspaper has a robust and strict separation between their news reporters and their editorial board. Their editorial board, who makes such endorsements, is separate from those reporting news updates and doing investigations.

Unfortunately this is not as well-known as it should be, but it's an old and well established tradition in journalism.

Not a coincidence at all. Those working for the editorial board of a newspaper are generally going to be more educated than the average member of the population.

And education was one of the most powerful predictors for how people voted in 2016.
