An Acquired Taste
When The American Prospect first came out in 1990, I wasn’t particularly impressed with it (though I liked the three co-founders: Robert Kuttner, Paul Starr, and Robert Reich). TAP is an acquired taste and I have grown to appreciate it. The online version is particularly impressive and is required reading for people who want to be in the know. A case in point is Geoffrey Nunberg’s analysis of Bernard Goldberg’s Bias. The only problem with it is that it wasn’t published when Bias was the talk of the town. This is a venial sin because Nunberg, unlike Goldberg, did a comprehensive content analysis of the media for the article.
