Turns out the hackwork Gerard Alexander wrote for the Washington Post was commissioned by the Post itself.
I seem to remember a time when the Washington Post was a somewhat more respectable periodical than the New York Post. Not so much now. There is one interesting claim, however, that Gerard Alexander made pertaining to Conservatives:
Alexander, for example, contends that “conservative magazines, elected officials, etc” don’t accuse coastal liberals of being out of touch with heartland values — and that if they did so, they’d be “run out of town.”
