Conservative commentator and former Bush speechwriter David Frum has announced that he is resigning from his Marketplace radio show. The reason?
“On the issues that today most passionately divide Americans – healthcare reform, monetary policy, social spending to aid the unemployed, and – soon – the American response to the euro crisis, I have to recognize that my views are not very representative of the conservative mainstream,” he writes
Frum feels “the many listeners to Marketplace who share the consensus conservative view are entitled to hear somebody articulate that view as well as it can be articulated…If I can’t and won’t do that job, then I should make way for somebody who can and will.”
