Caitlin Johnstone makes as much sense as tits on a turtle.

Perhaps you simply ought work on your reading comprehension.

While it may be a hyperbolic to refer to an entire 150-year-old publication that has published Mark Twain, Martin Luther King, Wm. F. Buckley, and David Foster Wallace as "a shitty propaganda rag," I think the central premises hold up:

that Applebaum's piece is incredibly dangerous and irresponsible, and that fears of popular speech are rooted in elitism.

It may be somewhat tenuous to link the two and assign such a position to The Atlantic's editorial board as a whole but as usual Ms. Johnstone + Mr. Foley's analyses provide insight into consensus manufacture in the West.
