Thank you for reading and for the thoughtful essay. At the time, I often summed it up this way: if you treat your politicians like celebrities, you will inevitably get celebrities as politicians. A bit simplistic, perhaps, but I think born out. (Also, worth watching the film.)

I read @mattbai’s Gary Hart book on a long train ride last week—and it was one of those finally-got-round-to-it reads that serendipitously made me think a lot of thoughts about the current media moment. My column for @CJR: https://t.co/q1kFaDW0jI

Why are you always at the top of my feed, even though I don’t follow you? Wasn’t this supposed to be a free speech platform where everyone had equal say? Why is your speech promoted so much more heavily than anyone else’s? How is that consistent with your stated vision?
