In reply to the discussion: Progressive journalist Eric Boehlert dies in bike accident - great loss [View all]Upthevibe
(8,823 posts)104. cilla4progress....It was a student free day at work today
so I hopped on DU around Noon and this is how I found out about Eric Boehlert's passing......... I was just stunned.
I know him from Stephanie Miller's show and really look forward to their discussions every week.
Stephanie lost her beloved and cherished doggie last night (out of the blue - there hadn't been any problems so it was a complete shock). Jody Hamilton sat in for her on this morning's show.
My heart just goes out to all of his loved ones and those who had a special relationship with him. It's also a huge loss for progressive media.
I'm just stunned....
