The dude is a gigantic a-hole. When I worked in TV, every interaction with him was painful because not only is there is never enough oxygen in the room for him and his ego, but his behavior and demeanor was immature, petty, mean and often unreasonable. I just don't know how he sees himself as able to talk down to people from five-foot nothing.sirrealone wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:59 am He's a columnist, not a reporter. His personal voice being inserted into the article is exactly the difference between the two.
His personal voice in this context fits his ego perfectly because he could have left out "...on what it's like to be well-known" with absolutely zero change in the article and emotion. In fact, he could have stopped right after "My wife and I adored her".
Zero self-awareness from a hack of a writer.
