One way of looking at it

Personally, I get a kick out of how editorial page editors at places like the NY Times and Washington Post fill out their columnist positions. The elite op-ed pages are just brimming with ideological diversity, from big government conservatives like Brooks, Bill Kristol, Michael Gerson, and Ross Douthat, to big government moderates like Friedman, Fareed Zakaria, and Matt Miller, all the way to big government liberals like E.J. Dionne, Paul Krugman, and Nicholas Kristof.

I mean, that pretty much covers all the possible opinions, right?
