anyway, the WSJ whining because people don't like their op ed is kind of contrary to the way people often say this works; ie, that people publish these things for clicks. I think they sort of do...
but at the same time, people really aren't necessarily hoping for massive pushback which results in subscription cancellations and a general trashing of the venues reputation. (see Tom Cotton and James Bennet).
trolling has downsides is what I'm saying. editors are not necessarily gleeful when everyone as one say, "this is stupid shit."
we'll have to see how it plays out I guess but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't hire Epstein to write another one of these anytime soon.
