Talk:Matthew Yglesias

message: Looks like Matt stopped tweeting and deleted all of his tweets early November 2018. I wonder if there's anyplace that documents why? https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/ Aleshh (talk) 00:07, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: He's clearly still tweeting in March 2019, so this doesn't seem relevant anymore. Speculation about twitter usage is also maybe not notable enough for a bio article? EPadgett (talk) 14:35, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Why does this article call him Matt, when his proudly eponymous blog is called www.matthewyglesias.com? Skarioffszky 17:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: How does this article come to the conclusion that Matthew Yglesias is a liberal blogger? He's a Mitt Romney fan! --JHP (talk) 02:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's possible you are kidding... but Yglesias is unabashedly a liberal (though he may prefer the term "progressive"). His support of Mitt Romney is firmly tongue-in-cheek, as "the least bad Republican," which should be clear from his post "Why I'm a Mitt Man". Clconway (talk) 03:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Andrew Sullivan's not a conservative though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.231.76 (talk) 14:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree. Fixed. Binarybits (talk) 14:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Sullivan wrote a book called "The Conservative Soul." Glenn Reynolds contributes to Townhall.com. I don't know what else you want. Binarybits (talk) 14:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sullivan was and is one of the biggest cheerleaders for Obama, he lead the internet campaign against Sarah Palin. Whatever his is book called doesn't matter. Only what he what he promtes is Liberalism. He is called Conservative because he was for the Iraq war--91.105.149.237 (talk) 03:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Republican isn't the same as conservative, and liberal isn't the same as Democrat. He self-identifies as conservative, so unless you can show that reliable sources label him as liberal, that's how we should identify him. It's not our job (and against WP:NOR) to analyze his views and make an independent judgement about his ideology. Binarybits (talk) 15:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Liberal blogger?

message: Is this worth inclusion? The incident it refers to (Yglesias tweeting nasty comments about Andrew Breitbart after the latter's death) happened just last week.  It seems to be producing vandalism of this article (see the recent edit removing an accusation that Yglesias eats his own shit), and a deliberate campaign of one-star ratings of the guy's new ebook over on Amazon. If there's going to be a controversy section, it seems like it should at least include a mention of Yglesias's inclusion in the Journolist "scandal" though frankly the sniping between him and various right-wing writers like Breitbart, Eli Lake, Jonathan Strong seems tedious, largely irrelevant, and likely to attract more vandalism.Sbma44 (talk) 21:22, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Please note, a discussion has been started at WP:BLPN regarding whether we should mention that Yglesias doesn't have an economics degree. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:28, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
