Political Leanings of "The Bulwark"
editAccording to the article on "The Bulwark", it is a "conservative website", while this article considers this a "centrist news and opinion website". XCBRO172 (talk) 00:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Good point!
- In this Longwell article I found 4 references. (I'll put current reference numbers here.)
- Washingtonian[18] says "serious coverage of events through a center-right filter"[4]
- CNN[30] says "conservative" it is a repeat of a Bulwark reference.[5]
- Rolling Stone[31] talks a lot about neocons.[6]
- WRAL[32] says "conservative", it is a repeat of a Bulkwark reference.[7]
- Atlantic[35] says "conservative" a lot, it is a repeat of a Bulwark reference.[8]
- (Very odd: the word "conservative" in the title of the WRAL article was erroneously written as "centrist" in the references. I'll fix that.)
- So although "centrist" is repeated many times in this article, it is not supported by references.
- Also the text in this Longwell article describes the Bulwark as "bringing together a moderate coalition of traditional conservatives and libertarians." But it never elaborates on or documents that. Instead this article documents that the Bulwark brought together conservative luminaries Longwell, Bill Kristol, Charles Sykes, and staff from the conservative Weekly Standard.
- So I think we can safely change all those "centrist" to "conservative", it is backed up by the references. -- M.boli (talk) 01:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Update: "centrist" was vandalism from 14 Jan 2024, when an IP editor changed several instances of "neconservative" and "conservative". I changed them all to "conservative". The question is whether "neoconservative" is more accurate. -- M.boli (talk) 10:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
