I'm not saying the legacy guys always get it right - no one does or can - but they have contacts and context and know the rules. But these days, they're lumped in with the previously mentioned "hot take" podcasters and essentially commoditized. It's a shame. But yeah, they're going the way of the horse and buggy. Still lots of horse and buggy’s out here in Lancaster county lol
June 29, 20214 yr Enjoyed reading his work. Les is an Icon. People now get news from Twitter and Tick Tock. Idiocracy is real.
July 6, 20214 yr Terrible reporter, but forever a hero in my heart for knocking out that clown Jeff McLane.
