Maybe it's just that they're siding strongly with the overdogs against the
underdogs. I saw a bit of their new show and they were talking about
the Pope condemning Israel. A lady said that the Pope and the Vatican
were anti-modernist (obviously) while that idiot Paul Gigot argued that the
Vatican is modernist but "misinformed." So there is a fault line there on
the editorial board.
