I think he is the right person to be saying this. And I'd like to read an update in a year or two as well, see how it's working out for him. Frankly the state of US journalism is so weighed down by bias, the institution in general could probably use a dose of the Checklist Manifesto. And if this guy can come up with some SOPs that work for him, he should publish them and maybe they can help others who are willing. I think a lot of the HN reaction to this is understandable. It's akin to a fall down drunk getting his 30 day chip, and announcing it to the world. But Lehrer didn't sound like he was proud of his "30 day chip", just that he's starting to see what the road to wellness is going to take. It's the first step in his making amends. People can take what he offers and accept it, disregard it, chew him up and spit him on the ground, or whatever. But at least he is offering something. That's his part. I'll be interested to see how he does and where he goes.
