@KevinGHall At a time when we're all waiting to find out if we can keep practicing real journalism, his reporting has been a reminder of just how important// essential the craft can be (though you really don't need much reminding amid the great reporting my colleagues have done on COVID-19) — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply thankful for the inimitable @KevinGHall, put in the impossible position of reporting on his own company, for all the timely and accurate information he's provided about McClatchy's impending auction. A pro's pro https://t.co/WRXX19XLTf — PolitiTweet.org

if Biden wins in November, it'll be interesting to see if this holds up while he's president. He might, in fact, be inherently harder to demonize, but he also benefits from a president who constantly refocuses attention himself and a trio of simultaneous national/global crises — PolitiTweet.org
