Nonsense. He says the opposite of Tammy; that conservatives are isolated because they only watch & listen to FNC, talk radio (he mentions Rush & Hannity), and go to websites such as NRO. That’s partially true, but as Tammy says, we can’t avoid the entire rest of the media which is liberal. Liberals are much more cocooned than we are. Some even seek out FNC to get facts. Don’t know why he’s proffering this opinion, but my cynical suspicion is that he’s somehow for Obama internet regulations and setting up that losing something that is bad, is a good thing.

Mr. Bartlett worked for Ron Paul, Jack Kemp, and Ronald Reagan among others and he was a supply side economics historian. No More. As Wikip. states, in 2009 he wrote a book saying that supply side economics was for the 1970s and today he is 100% Keynesian. Good for him. But I don’t trust any economist or historian or economics historian that around 60 yrs. of age says that an economic theory was for a particular era. His opinion on conservative media offered here, seems a compounding error.

“…In his 2009 book, The New American Economy: The Failure of Reaganomics and a New Way Forward, Bartlett defends Keynesian economic policies, stating that while supply-side economics was appropriate for the 1970s and 1980s, supply side arguments do not fit contemporary conditions. In a 2013 article for The American Conservative, Bartlett explains that after conducting research for the book, he “came to the annoying conclusion that Keynes had been 100 percent right in the 1930s,” that “we needed Keynesian policies again,” and that “no one has been more correct in his analysis and prescriptions for the economy’s problems than Paul Krugman,” a prominent Keynesian economist….”
