Travis is a fairly skilled reporter. In response to the outcry he issued a quasi apology that basically read "some say it was an important question, some were annoyed by it". Of course, that observation fairly misses the point that this was about judgment, not reception; that asking such a question demonstrated that he might not be able to discriminate between trivial political issues and globally significant political issues. And that is a problem that we clearly have. I watched more PnP while David Cochrane was hosting than in all the time Vassy has hosted, because I find that there's a noticeable difference in what is said and how it is said. Your points are well taken, but the question for all of us is, can we do anything about saving media from itself?
A little unintended irony: "Yes, my track record in Canada is good (or, you know, very good, if I wanna be arrogant), but even putting aside whether I was write in 2019 or 2021, my work was extraordinarily well written, because I have a talent for oratory."
(FYI.. my Patron Saints - in no particular order are
Hunter S Thompson, George Carlin, Marshall McLuhan & Tom Wolfe)
I’m a prodigious reader.. & though a tich selective will take a flyer on any read
When I say ‘a tich selective’ it just means I have read every Louis L’Amour book, every Elmore Leonard, every Robert B Parker, every Robert Heinlein.. we’ll you catch the drift I’m sure..
Since I’m new here.. will go down your written or literary backtrail.. have a look see
A nice surprise & h/t to RiverRising on Twitter .. for the tip
