What are your thoughts on John Dickerson as a newsman?
In a post-Internet era, he gets drowned out with all the different media currently available, but he strikes me as the closest to the Cronkite mold of yore. It likely doesn’t matter, but in terms of style/substance and even analysis, is he a flicker in light in the MSM?
One piece to consider:

In the post-election meltdowns we saw in 2016, he stood out in this instance as providing some cogent, non-hysterically analysis.

He’s not the host, and doesn’t have a lispy voice, and spends the least time bemoaning the election results, instead of taking it apart in the immediate aftermath.Martin Hash wrote:Yeah, I brushed through it for 5 or 10 minutes.Zero wrote:In the podcast?Martin Hash wrote:Which one was Dickerson?

He’s the guy who said Trump built his reputation on slippery commitments, and that he won’t be able to follow through on his promises but he probably can kill Obamacare?Zero wrote:He’s not the host, and doesn’t have a lispy voice, and spends the least time bemoaning the election results, instead of taking it apart in the immediate aftermath.Martin Hash wrote:Yeah, I brushed through it for 5 or 10 minutes.Zero wrote:
