- "In other words? There is no left-of-center original reporting on race at this level, period. Breitbart, Beck, and their ilk have no compunctions about leading with race, for pageviews or for personal vendettas, because it's a conversation they dominate — and they spoil the field so thoroughly that smart high-profile liberals with access to real data, like Nate Silver, would rather just stay out of it and call it a loss."

Yet according to Moss, 'it's not just an imported problem – it's not just foreigners who treat people like this in their own country and then come over here and do it. There are a lot of British people who do this here too. Many are expats who have lived in places where it's normal to have domestic workers.'"
