I'm seeing a lot of signals on that site that throw up red flags and honestly the content is confirming those assumptions. I find this talk radio guy and his guest Phil Magness of George Mason to be the ideologically blinkered ones as I follow their arguments and cross-reference them with what was written in Capital.

You mean like the pop-up ad for his book and newsletter?

"Three Words That Say "I'm Clueless"

""Deregulation caused it!"

"We've all heard that account of the financial crisis.

"It's dead wrong. Preposterously wrong.

"It's all the Left has.

"Don't let them get away with it.

"Solution: enter your email address below for your free copy of The Deregulation Bogeyman and to start receiving the legendary Tom Woods Letter."

This guy cites fox news as calling him the smartest guy in the room. If fox news calls tom woods the smartest guy in the room you can be sure that Tom is as smart, truthful and unbiased as fox news.
