Conversations With Coleman

I appreciate Coleman’s perspective, clarity, and wisdom. The grace he gives to others without wavering from truth is a lesson. He always gets me thinking.

If I were your grandmother (I’m 75), I’d be very proud of you, Coleman! You have moral and ethical clarity, unusual traits in today’s young people. You have the ability to be a honest broker and you do your homework. You let the chips fall where they may, even if it’s against the grain. It’s journalists like you that make me a FP subscriber. Keep up the good work. You have a bright future.

This is an excellent podcast that really digs into the nuances and context of an issue. Look no further than the way he has thoughtfully examined the Israel-Palestinian conflict and the situation in Gaza. Rather than blindly repeat the stories published by the legacy media, which have been shown to be wrong, he takes the time to examine the issues and digs into a topic. This is precisely what we need from all journalists. You know that the information you’re getting from him is true.

I’m not sure I’ve encountered a more simplistic, ahistorical overview of Israel/Palestine than from this person. Listening to a few other of his shows indicates that unsophisticated, under-informed banal commentary is actually his whole schtick, however. It’s a sad commentary on our society that this mediocrity is taken even minimally seriously as a public thinker.
