In a Tuesday post, New York magazine’s Chait suggested that conservatism is driven not by an elite but by its riff-raff.

In two different articles over the last six months, former CNN and NBC anchor Campbell Brown offered a fair representation of some of the media handwringing about their responsibility for Donald Trump. They charged Trump is over-covered. But wait: did anyone see Campbell Brown complaining that the media gave too much attention to Barack Obama in 2008? I haven't been able to find any complaints.

Joy Reid's Kind of Republican Calls Trump a 'Fascist'
We made it a point to tune into Joy Reid's debut this morning in the MSNBC slot formerly occupied by Melissa Harris-Perry.
