So, hey, er, @MerriamWebster, while I appreciate your using a quote from me in your definition of "deep state"--and while we @DeepStateRadio consider ourselves experts on the subject--the quote is completely (and rather shockingly) taken out of context.
It comes from an article I did for "Foreign Policy" in which I downplay the "black helicopters" like conspiracy theories around the deep state and emphasize the risks associated w/what I called "the shallow state", a feature of a government that rejected knowledge & experience.
For a respected publication like yours to make such an error is unusual, I know. But I would hope you would correct it. It makes it sound like I'm peddling a theory which I in fact, reject. (And which @DeepStateRadio was created in part to de-bunk. The title was tongue-in-cheek.)
