Alien Abduction?

Jamison Foser reports that the author of the WaPo article scolding all of us liberals for being condescending, was actually commissioned by the paper to write it. How lovely.
But this really takes the cake:
Alexander spent the bulk of today's Washington Post online Q&A acknowledging that some conservatives are plenty condescending to liberals, but claiming that it just isn't very common. Or something. Alexander, for example, contends that "conservative magazines, elected officials, etc" don't accuse coastal liberals of being out of touch with heartland values -- and that if they did so, they'd be "run out of town."
In reality, of course, such accusations are not limited to conservatives; they are pervasive in the media. And those making such accusations are not "run out of town," they are given television shows on CNN.
I honestly don't know what to say. The idea that conservatives don't accuse liberals of being out oftouch with heartland values is so absurd that I have to assume that Alexander has been living in another country for the past 30 years. It's insane.
