Entry: Who Is Matt Welch? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/who_is_matt_welch#22296 Post contents: Tom, Mea culpa. I meant to say "Reason supporters" or "cosmotarians" or whatever they're being called nowadays. I wouldn't expect that the Reason writers/editors would bother responding. With regard to Matt's political orientation, you're quite right that there's no "answer" to his stated views. But insofar as I can decipher Justin's piece (and I admit, it's not easy), the issue seems to be the way his political beliefs influence his editing of the magazine (and thus, the trajectory of the magazine). Matt could be a communist, a fascist, a liberal, or an anarchist. But none of those things <strong>necessarily</strong> impact his ability to write/edit for a libertarian mag. Justin seems to believe that "revealing" Matt's political views and pulling quotes from previous articles is some sort of "gotcha," and is proof enough that the magazine is going downhill. I think he's making spurious connections. Sent at: 2008 05 16
