The best analysis of Brett Stephens and his ilk I've ever seen.

[The Polack MSgt]

Bret Stephens went ahead and ruined everyone else’s day by scribbling out a bunch of racist bumper sticker slogans in the New York Times. And this time, ol’ Bret did so without the veneer of preciousness that he usually grants to everything he touches…

Nothing bad is gonna happen to Bret Stephens for this, of course. He lives in the same magical fairy-tale land other conservative dudes live in where they receive the largest bullhorn and grandest sum of money possible to cry out to the world that they’ve been sent to the guillotine for daring to speak their precious truths...

Stephens will get to keep spewing his noxious brand of horseshit over there for as long as he likes. What’s more, he even gets to deploy the cheap wingnut trick where you address criticism by telling everyone SORRY YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND MY REMARKABLY NUANCED TAKE...

God man, FUCK you. Fuck you sideways. I think Stephens understands that he’s being dull, dishonest, clichéd, hostile, and still racist all in one go. But that’s a free lunch conservatives have been enjoying for years now. Stephens himself clearly has no problem grazing at that spread. No matter how much he says he’ll never vote for Trump—I AM CANCELLING MY SUBSCRIPTION TO DONALD TRUMP, SIR—he gets to act like people calling his views racist (they are) is the true offense here. And he is forever permitted to roll his eyes at anyone he finds beneath him, which means everyone...

There is so much more as well as links and numerous other examples of Brett's wankery and shitheaded-ness.

It's a must read

1. Best analysis of Bret Stephens: "liar and tool of billionaires"

Bret is on wingnut welfare. He would not have this job if rightwing billionaires hadn’t supported his previous career steps.

And let’s not forget who hired Bret:
James Bennet: NYT Opinion editor
Dean Baquet: NYT head editor
And ultimately: the Sulzbergers. Who own and publish the NYT.

Ps. Drew Magary is amazing. He’s a gift to America.

2. I agree about Big Daddy Drew. His essays are amazing,

The article he wrote regarding his stroke and it's after effects is a masterpiece of 1st person reporting.
