Discussion: CNN's Brian Stelter Pays Tribute To Mentor David Carr: 'My Heart Is Broken'

Discussion for article #233235

I loved Carr’s writing. His last column dealt with Stewart and Williams and here’s a link to it. He suffered through drug addiction that nearly killed him, so it’s even more remarkable that he became the singular reporter he was. It was probably Carr who created “crickets” in 2010

If you dumped every reporter who ever sent a snide message or talked smack in private, there would be nothing but crickets chirping in newsrooms all over America.”
