Ezra Klein is 28-years-old and a well-read liberal opinion journalist. Perhaps you’ve heard of him (you’ve heard of him).

(“Instead of launching his career by leveraging connections to the established elite, he built his reputation by blogging loudly, and sharply, into the void.”) INSPIRATIONAL/ASPIRATIONAL.
