      Absolutely. It’s so nice to see real journalism still exists. I’m hoping he inspires a much needed media shift

      I personally have. He made amends, and took a pretty huge personal hit. He admitted what he did was wrong and came out the other side. He didn’t hide from it, he confronted it. People can redeem themselves. What he did was wrong, but we should be happy when people learn from their mistakes and attempt to correct themselves. Punishing them forever after that only causes resentment and causes others to fear trying to do the same thing.

      Yeah, I used to really like Andrew’s work, but haven’t really watched anything since the allegations all came out and he went completely quiet for a few months after. It really feels like a calculated move to just wait the story out, and feels like a really dickish thing to do instead of actually addressing his sex pest past.
