Ezra Klein Career

Ezra Klein JournoList

Klein created a Google Groups forum called “JournoList” in February 2007. It was for discussing politics and the news media. He controlled the forum’s membership and was limited to “several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks, and academics”.

The posts within JournoList were meant only to be made and read by its members. Ezra defended the forum saying that it “ensures that folks feel safe giving off-the-cuff analysis and instant reactions”.

Time magazine columnist Joe Klein (no relation to Ezra Klein) and JournoList member added that the off-the-record nature of the forum was necessary because “candor is essential and can only be guaranteed by keeping these conversations private”.

In a July 27, 2007 blog post, the existence of JournoList was first publicly revealed by blogger Mickey Kaus. Initially, the forum did not attract serious attention until March 17, 2009, when an article published on Politico detailed the nature of the forum and the extent of its membership.

The Politico article raised a debate within the blogosphere over the ethics of participating in JournoList and raised questions about its purpose. On March 26, 2009, the first public excerpt from a discussion within JournoList was posted by Mickey Kaus on his blog.

Ezra Klein Podcast

Klein together with Sarah Kliff and Matt Yglesias, launched The Weeds, a Vox podcast of detailed discussions on public policy in October 2015. He also hosts the podcast “The Ezra Klein Show“.

Ezra Klein Vox

Klein stated that he would be leaving The Washington Post in January 2014, to start a new media venture with several other veteran journalists. The new media venture was later identified as the politics site Vox.

Initially, Ezra had “proposed the creation of an independent, explanatory journalism website with more than three dozen staffers” and an annual budget of more than US$10 million to remain at The Washington Post. During negotiations, Post publisher Katharine Weymouth and new owner Jeff Bezos did not make a counteroffer.

Ezra Klein Sam Harris

Sam Harris, host of the Waking Up podcast, and Ezra have been going back and forth over an interview Harris did with The Bell Curve author Charles Murray.

In that interview, which first aired almost a year ago, Harris and Murray argued that African Americans are, for a combination of genetic and environmental reasons, intrinsically and immutably less intelligent than white Americans, and Murray argued that the implications of this “forbidden knowledge” should shape social policy.

Vox published a piece criticizing the conversation, Harris was offended by the piece and challenged me to a debate, and after a lot of back-and-forths, this is that debate.

Ezra Klein MSNBC

Klein regularly provides political commentary on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell. He is a former contributor to Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

Ezra Klein on Trump

Klein wrote an opinion piece indicating support for the impeachment of President Donald Trump in 2017, stating

Impeachment is not a power we should take lightly; nor is it one we should treat as too explosive to use. There will be presidents who are neither criminals nor mental incompetents but who are wrong for the role, who pose a danger to the country and the world. It is a principle that sounds radical until you say it, at which point it sounds obvious: Being extremely bad at the job of president of the United States should be enough to get you fired.
