"The Wisconsin Union Directorate welcomed Ezra Klein, editor-in-chief of the news website Vox.com, as part of its Distinguished Lecture Series Monday to explore American politics and its downfalls."

"Klein opened his discussion by explaining that one core problem in politics is the way it is portrayed in the media. 'Washington is terrible because we do a shitty job telling you why Washington is terrible.'..."

Although he was not always a hard worker, Klein said finding something he�s passionate about has helped to motivate him.

�The reason I�m into it is that in this moment doing this thing, it is in some weird way easier for me to work hard on it than not,� Klein said. �I just find it really interesting and compelling.�
