My Take
John Dickerson is the kind of journalist I instinctively trust. From his Slate political columns to moderating Face the Nation and anchoring the CBS Evening News, he has spent decades watching politics up close, and it shows in his judgment. He pairs a University of Virginia analytical streak with a composed interviewing manner, pressing without grandstanding. In an era that rewards shouting for ratings, his calm, precise pursuit of the point actually stands out more. He is also a fine writer, contributing to The Atlantic. A steady voice on screen and on the page, he embodies the sort of measured journalism I admire most.
