Jon Meacham penned a classic today!
- "So much political information is coming from a thriving class of provocateurs, on the Internet and some cable news outlets, who have an economic stake in the perpetuation of conflict rather than in the solution of problems.
- "Conviction matters, deeply, and devoted partisans are often people of goodwill. We would not want (and could not have) a country or a politics without True Believers, for they delineate the terms of debate. The truth does not always lie between extremes, and compromise is not always the correct course. But sometimes it does, and sometimes it is."
- "Voters should think more creatively and demand more options. Americans love free markets except in our politics, where we are strangely satisfied with having only two brands."
