The ‘Ick Factor’

“In the hands of a skillful indoctrinator, the average student not only thinks what the indoctrinator wants him to think . . . but is altogether positive that he has arrived at his position by independent intellectual exertion.

. . . and Andrew Sullivan “account[s] for more than a quarter of the site’s unique visitors and close to half its visits,” then isn’t Sully the most important member of the Atlantic Monthly‘s staff?
