“Bartley wasn’t interested in seeing a lot of contrary viewpoints beyond that. His reasoning was that other newspapers such as the New York Times provided plenty of space for the liberal orthodoxy; he wanted the Journal’s editorial pages to be a forum for the right. I barely managed to avoid losing my job over the Krugman debacle; Bartley apparently thought about removing me but decided to give the tyro another chance. This was an early indication to me that groupthink could be just as tenacious on the right as on the left.”
