The Weekly Standard’s Matt Labash says conservative media outlets have taken off in recent years because “they feed the rage.” He tells Dan Rohn: “We’ve created this cottage industry in which it pays to be un-objective. It pays to be subjective as much as possible. It’s a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It’s a great little racket. I’m glad we found it actually.”
