Meanwhile, I know that Thomas Friedman is an idiot.
It might well be that he’s hopelessly biased and unreflexive on every significant issue, but this neither says a lot about his purely intellectual capabilities, nor does it make any claim that he makes automatically wrong; he might turn out to be biased in just the right way.
(I haven’t ever heard of him before, just applying the general principles of evaluating authors.)

I read Thomas Friedman as self-parody.
