Eric Boehlert, R.I.P.

I don't have a lot of respect for most of the pundits and "talking heads" one sees on cable news and allied websites.  Even a lot of the ones uttering thoughts with which I agree strike me as saying what they say mainly because it gets them (a) on TV and (b) some attention.  But you've seen me link to a lot of Eric Boehlert's articles because I thought they were honestly well thought-out, lacking in needless dramatics and, as hindsight has shown, usually correct.

Mr. Boehlert was killed in a bicycling accident today.  He was 57 years old.  That's a shame for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is that we need more journalists like that man.

Here's a link to what I believe is the last article he published.  It's headlined, "Why is the press rooting against Biden?" Before any of you scoff that it isn't, read what Boehlert had to say. He was very good at making whatever case he made with solid examples and references.
