Bob Samuelson is characterised by integrity. I’ve by no means seen him on tv; I think that’s as a result of he feels he wouldn’t have time in a TV format to consider what he ought to say, not to mention analysis it. The one equally TV-averse journalist I knew was Meg Greenfield — fairly good firm. I like that Sam’s opinions are his personal. When the worst columnists placed on a blue shirt or a pink shirt and write to not inform the reader however to assist the trigger, Sam all the time wore his personal shirt. To put in writing his weekly column, he tried to be taught issues. And he wrote to tell the readers. I didn’t agree with every little thing he wrote. (I’m happy that he retires with out succeeding in abolishing Amtrak.) He was repelled by President Trump (my phrases, not his), however equally offended by Democrats who weren’t logical thinkers. His favourite instructor in faculty was a cranky individualist who insisted on pondering by opinions, even when they have been opinions all good folks have been alleged to share. (It was the Sixties.)
