Nov 3, 2014: Townhall: Erza Klein Reveals How He Became an Idiot
Ezra Klein has a new raison d'être. He wants to get the politics out of everything. Oct 17, 2014: Pattericos Pontifications: Ezra Klein Is A Moron
As a palate cleanser from all the Ebola coverage, I present to you, Ezra Klein. As you should know, Ezra is a hyper-partisan leftist JournoLista, that started Vox, an enterprise that does not let a day go by without a dramatic display of dishonest and/or ignorance, while claiming to be news explainers, the smartest thinkers, while simultaneously having the likes of Klein, Yglesias, and other mental midgets on their staff.

Sept 25, 2014: Daily Caller: Ezra Klein’s Beard: Revealed
Vox.com‘s editor-in-chief Ezra Klein in venturing into the inner turmoil of male facial hair. It’s unclear how unkempt the situation we’ll get. One can only hope he gets his scrubble under control and fast. Sept 25, 2014: Townhall: Liberal 'Wonk:' Ignore the Conservative Media, Obamacare is a Success in the 'Real World'
From the moment liberal blogger Ezra Klein launched Vox as an "explanatory journalism" project, it has exemplified the prevailing conceits of the modern American Left. Sometimes useful, frequently ideological, and more than occasionally embarrassing, the work of Vox's self-stylized wonks is required reading among those news consumers whose unshakable faith in their own intellectual superiority is a boundless source of smug satisfaction. Sept 2, 2014: Contently: Is Vox’s Chorus the CMS Brands Have Been Waiting For?
In April, Ezra Klein sent a ripple through the media world when he decided to leave The Washington Post for Vox Media. It wasn’t just the fact that Klein was leaving WaPo, but the reason he was doing it: for Vox’s content management system (CMS), Chorus. |

Apr 7, 2014: Breitbart: New York Times Blunts Ezra Klein Insult of Washington Post
On Sunday, The New York Times quoted Ezra Klein slamming his old bosses at The Washington Post. But by Monday morning, the Times altered the quote from one that hit the Post specifically to one criticizing the newspaper industry in general.

ON THE RECORD: Mar 15, 2014: Carlos Maza (Media Matters) reports "Ezra Klein: "I Could've, And Should've, Handled This Hire A Lot Better." Basically, Klein hired Brandon Ambrosino as a write for his new media venture, Vox.com. Maza reports that Klien came under attack "from journalists and LGBT activists." Why? Because they dont like some of the things Ambrosino wrote. Of course, Ambrosino, according to Media Matters, Carlo Maza and some "journalists and LGBT activists" write some stuff about gays and gay life that they did not like and Ambrosino has said "that gay activists are bigoted against opponents of LGBT equality." So, in order to prove that gay activist are not bigoted against opponents of LGBT equality, they perpetuate an act of bigotry against an opponent of LGBT equality and apparently want Ambrosino totally ostracized for anything that has to do with the internet and maybe from planet earth, although they may have not gone that far but, if not, it is the way they are going. The ones who use to complain about people being intolerant are now the ones who have become intolerant. Comments can be left here: In order to prove that gay activists are not bigoted against opponents of LGBT equality, gay activists perpetuate an act of bigotry against an opponent of LGBT equality
ON THE RECORD: Mar 13, 2014: In an article about the intolerant left, Matt K Lewis (Daily Caller) reports about some problems Paul Ryan having as he addresses some inner city poverty and has now been tagged by some from the left as racist. Lewis proposes that "Ryan was digging in too much — getting too close to the other guy’s turf." and then reports that "Something similar is taking place right now with liberal Ezra Klein, who is being labeled something of a homophobe. Okay, it’s not to that level…yet — but he is clearly being told that, when it comes to staffing up his new online venture, Vox, he had better get in line. His decision to hire “gay anti-gay apologist Brandon Ambrosino” seems to have sparked the outrage. As the American Prospect notes, “Klein has come under fire for the lack of racial and gender diversity among Vox’s announced hires, and his decision to hire Ambrosino shows how much he has to learn about genuine diversity.” As I have said over and over and over again, the ones that have spent the last 20 years complaining about how intolerant people are have now become the people they used to call intolerant.

Jan 22, 2014: New York Post: Wonk Ezra Klein leaves the Washington Post
Having a high-tech mogul Jeff Bezos, of Amazon, as the new owner of the Washington Post was apparently not enough to get the paper to hang onto Ezra Klein, its star economic columnist and founder of WaPo’s popular Wonkblog site.

ON THE RECORD: Jan 21, 2014: Jonathan Cohn has announced in his New Republic article that "Policy Journalism Is Having Its Moment." The article is primarily dedicated to the the decision by Ezra Klein to quit the Washington Post in order to start a new journalism project. Melissa Bell and Dylan Matthews will also be leaving WaPo with him. Cohn sees something bigger in this move and summarizes that "the unsettling part of Klein’s departure is the shift in power, away from large media organizations, it would seem to reinforce. All but the largest newspapers are dying and we don’t know, yet, exactly what will take their places. But, overall, journalism is richer and more informative because people like Josh Marshall, Nate Silver, and now Ezra Klein are reinventing it." Andrew Beaujon (Poynter) listed several people who have left the established media and are looking at new ventures ("Washington Post announces Ezra Klein is leaving"): "Nate Silver decided last year to leave The New York Times for ESPN, which plans to relaunch his FiveThirtyEight.com under its auspices soon. Glenn Greenwald left the Guardian last year to join a “a new mass media organization” funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Dan Froomkin and Jay Rosen also joined the new organization in varying capacities. Gawker’s Neetzan Zimmerman will be the editor-in-chief of a starting shareup called Whisper. Gabriel Snyder, formerly the editor-in-chief of The Wire, will be chief content officer of a mobile news startup called Inside.com. Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg’s site AllThingsD announced last year they would part ways with Dow Jones & Co. and relaunched as Re/Code this year. The Wall Street Journal launched a replacement site, WSJD. Both promised live events. Another spinoff from the Journal: The Information, a subscription tech-news site edited by former WSJ reporter Jessica Lessin. Proto-blogger Andrew Sullivan left The Daily Beast in early 2013 to relaunch his Daily Dish as an independent, subscription-based publication. Sullivan wrote on Dec. 31. that in its first year, the publication had raised more than $800,000 in subscription revenue and has “almost 34,000 subscribers.” One thing that is clear through all this is that the internet is not done changing the face of journalism.
