know about why Tablet is doing the kind of extraordinary work that Tablet has been doing and that would once have been something you might have expected at the really big glossy places with much bigger budgets and the ability to attract more prestigious writers. But those places have collapsed in the same way that other elite institutions in the United States have collapsed. And largely for the same reasons, they got invested in self-serving delusional narratives. They chased after Trump, Russia, collusion stuff. They started to see their fellow Americans as broken and degenerate in some way and themselves as sort of shepherds and members of an elect whose job was not to report on the country or be curious and inquisitive, but rather to push through moral mandates. So that's a sort of larger story of corruption and collapse. And Tablet has been an exception for a number of reasons, most notably because on the people who run it, Alana Newhouse, the editor has guts and isn't easily cowed (7/44)
