Pearlstein will teach classes on economics, public affairs, and the media. He will also continue his propaganda role at WaPo.
S.M. Olivia emails:
Pearlstein is a regulatory apologist. He's the first line of media defense whenever anyone dares to criticize the FTC, FCC, etc. He even does their dirty work. I got into a tiff some years back over a hospital merger. Pearlstein was writing blatant propaganda for the FTC, to the point where he was withholding material facts that would've discredited the FTC's case. I called him out on it over email, and he actually copped to withholding facts, but said it was for the greater good.
I think this puts to rest any notion of GMU as a bastion of pro-free-market thought.
