About five minutes later Noam again brings up media, and Bump says, “But again, you’re attacking the press, because you refuse to listen to what we’re saying.”
Oh, we're listening all right . . . we just don't buy it.

Bump is engaging in multiple logical fallacies over and over. Begging the question (i.e. circular reasoning) and appeal to authority. Construct a logical, cogent argument with independent support and maybe there'd be something worth listening to.
That's a feature, not a bug, of the Bump/Drezner class - which returns us always to the central tenant of the authoritarian - I'm right because I say so - I say so because I'm right, rinse, repeat.
The best I can say about his kind is that they see their beliefs as so self-evident that they really can’t understand any disagreement. To give an example, it’s like when NBC deceptively edited George Zimmerman’s 911 call to make it sound like he volunteered Trayvon Martin’s race rather than giving it in response to the operator asking. They claimed it was just for brevity and I actually believe them. I think they were so sure it was obviously a racist murder that the edit didn’t change the meaning of the call.

We’re listening and we’re disgusted with all the clowns. Bump has become a poster boy for the idiots in so-called journalism now.
Institutional turd polishers.
