OT: Real Reportage Still (rarely) Occurs!

The collapse of professional standards and levels of skills in news and deeper story reporting is an unexpected side effect of the ongoing digital revolution. For me, finding a reporter who actually comprehensively understands something complicated and then writes/talks about it is like freshet spring to a cowboy dying of thirst — survival transforming into ecstatic joy. This interview does that for me.

I listened to that episode last night, during my drive home.

I like The Bulwark too, maybe not to the estatic joy level…but it’s very good.

The Bulwark as a whole is worth checking in on, does too much talky talk aiming to please and entertain its audience for my taste, but has enough pearls scattered throughyout that I glance at it all, piggy that I am.
