And Putting Yourself Forth As An Expert:

Krugman proves himself again

What a complete gas-bag. Sadly, he's not the only one who thinks that way.

Indeed:

While I certainly read plenty of conservative pundits–and, indeed, still consider myself one–like Kevin, I read fewer than I used to. I prefer rational, facts-based analysis and find more of it across the aisle than on my own side. Partly, it’s a function of the fact that academics and policy wonks with strong academic backgrounds are more likely to produce the kind of writing I find interesting and those groups tilt to the leeward side. But I’m not the only conservative who has noticed that even mainstream journals on the right have gone crazy. And the David Frums, Bruce Bartletts, and Daniel Larisons have largely been written off as RINOs angling for invites to liberal cocktail parties. Are the rational conservatives simply being outshouted? Out-promoted? Or are there just too few to matter anymore?

Emphasis mine.

"I don't read as many as I used to" is a far cry from "I don't." No emphasis needed. /shrug

When you make your living, at least in part, commenting on what "the other side has to say" it might behoove you to at least read what they're saying. Not to mention the notion that stridently proclaiming that your way is best rings rather hollow when "your way" is the only "way" you read about.

Since Paul Krugman contradicts even himself on a regular basis, I'm fairly certain we can dismiss nearly everything he says. We can also dismiss nearly everything Tyler Cowen says on Marginal Revolution, because Cowen's actual academic writing discredits nearly everything he posts on his blog.
