Stepan is a smart chap. He has realized (perhaps unconsciously)
that one’s political views are largely inconsequential,
that it’s nonetheless socially necessary to have some,
that developing popular and coherent political views oneself is expensive,
and so has outsourced them to a liberal paper.
One might compare it to hiring a fashion consultant… except it’s cheap to boot!
