I’ll bet that Yglesias linked to every critical post that he could find, but they were removed by the director of Think Progress.
Or it could be that in the past four or five years, it’s not the blogosphere that has declined, but Matthew Yglesias.
We’ll know when Yglesias links to this post. Unless the director of Think Progress prevents him from doing so.Report
