David seems to feel the WSJ's editorial page is firmly rooted in the 16th century. I would like to know which editorial page he thinks represents the century in which we are currently living? Obviously this is a rhetorical question because his inference is very clear. Could it be the intolerant echo chamber of his college environs which informs his views?
What is more 16th century? The WSJ editorial page or the oppressive groupthink politics prevalent on college campuses today. The poor "snowflake" students on many campuses require safe spaces to protect them from the odious WSJ.
College professors and students today are the equivalent of inquisitors from that period of history, who routinely burned heretics at the stake for daring to question the orthodoxy masquerading as the "truth".

It's true, which seems inaccurate to me, as that was the Reformation period. I would put it closer to the 9th century or Viking Age.
It could, but it ain't.
Make a substantive argument, dude. Of some sort.

'oppressive groupthink', lolz, it was tired when Coulter et alia first said it.
@LB, yeah, calling the first pages of the Journal 16th-century rather scants the period.
