Today, I look at a wonderful article by writer David Samuels (editor of the terrific "19th-century-style" newspaper, County Highway) on Obama's thought machine (public opinion) and it's eventual defeat, published in Tablet Magazine, one of the best magazines in America, and an encouraging representation of the new media outlets replacing the stale, uninspired publications that preach orthodoxy to a single intolerant political mindset.
