Swan did an amazing interview. But same people praising him are same people who savaged him previously. He’s still the same journalist and was always great! https://t.co/yEg3NLxizk— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) August 5, 2020
...before that was cool?
I am thoroughly convinced political reporting in America is all about being able to sit at the lunch table with the kewl kids.
I liked reporters before they became college-credentialed, when they were largely drunk and disreputable and learned how to report by the apprentice-throw them into the deep end methods. Or at least that's how I like to imagine it. Journalism is no more apt to reward the good ones and punish the sleazy ones than the law or policing or keeping a bar.
