Krugman says here though that the heavier editing of his opinion columns only started a ~year ago, which was 6 years after the blog ended. So presumably those six years were fine enough.
I overall agree with you on punditry and I didn’t much read Krugman; I don’t much read any of their opinion columnists. But a point to Krugman in that he can write about actual facts whereas Ross, Bret, and David can only write about vibes.
