Two specific suggestions: (1) Debate Net Neutrality with Conn Carroll. (2) Do a “Free Will” episode, concentrating on one or a few of the topics that you cover on your Ars beat.

Reason 2 I can understand. Reason 1 mystifies me, but I also think you should reach out yourself, either directly to BH.tv or to any of the regular diavloggers. If you’re interested in going back on, of course.

But do know that you have fans.

Er, when they ask me and I have time to do it, I guess?

I happen to think the Atlantic is centrist rather than center-left or center-right. (Under Michael Kelly it definitely was center-right.) But obviously according to Julian Sanchez I don’t *really* believe this; I know perfectly well it is a liberal magazine and if I pretend not to, Julian Sanchez knows I am lying. I am glad he has such a profound insight into other people’s sincerity. Maybe the police should use him instead of lie detectors…

And no, I am not a barking leftist out to demolish “the pernicious right-wing myth of the liberal mainstream media.” I know perfectly well that the New York Times is a liberal newspaper. I just don’t think the Atlantic is a liberal magazine.

It is standard operating procedure for the right wing to characterize the middle of the road as liberal. This is dogma and cannot be made the subject of discussion. The media is liberal, full stop. Therefore, unless a magazine, newspaper, or think tank states expressly that it is conservative, it is of necessity liberal.
