So how's this for subtraction by addition. Over the last few years @nytimes lost @Sulliview and gained @BretStephensNYT. Now Sullivan chronicles the complicit fecklessness of Stephens et al. in her column on the danger of bad media hot takes: washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl… ...
2/ Bonus @nytimes humiliation: Sullivan without comment juxtaposes @NateSilver538 correct analysis of the House results w. Stephens' botch/hack job...and then gives Stephens a last word that truly does not help his cause. I love it when a writer swaps the bludgeon for a stiletto.
3/ And last: can anyone tell me what value Stephens adds to @nytopinion? Seriously. He's not insightful. He's glib, but his prose doesn't offer any particular pleasures (see, e.g., the often egregious, always readable Safire). And he's an utterly predictable opiner.
