Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Media Bias

By Matthew Yglesias

Oct 24 2007, 10:15 AM ET Comment

I was reading the Express on the Metro this morning and it had a whole big (by the standards of the paper) section about how to buy your first home. Nowhere was the worry that one might be buying into a market that's still on its way down so much as considered. I'm not saying anyone who buys a house right now is buying into a downward-trending market (if I thought I could forecast asset price changes accurately, I'd get into another line of work) but it seems like an obvious concern people might have. No more obvious, though, than the fact that the advertising in the section came pretty much exclusively from condo developers who, presumably, aren't so interested in a rigorous look at this issue.
