The Fourth Way

One failing I will admit to is being a bit too ready to take the bait of newspaper articles touting Third Way as representing a force within the Democratic tent. I don't think you can dismiss them entirely, and they do speak for forces greater than their dumb organization, but the main power of that organization is finding journalists in our premier publications who are willing to type up anything they say.

That's an indictment of political journalism, and worth observing, but it isn't, mostly, an indictment of The Democrats.
