Regardless of his relationship with editors, he is very talented and very solid at interviewing and digging for a tough story. As far as journalism awards, I've known him for years and he wins every year. I'm sure the editors at the TL guided him, but I know for a fact he went far beyond what most reporters would do on many stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21128745.post-74756915018344244562007-11-15T10:02:00.000-05:002007-11-15T10:02:00.000-05:00Where's MY turkey?????
