There is a difference between “some leg up” and basically a closed shop.

Closed shop? More like...

Wrong Thread Title. Should read, 'I don't like Eddie, so now I don't like his kids'.

Nah, the actual person is fine, what s**** people is nepotism. Even you know how and why he got the job/s he has in the media.

Which is sad because he's a really great operator so we'll never know

Journalism including news reading and commentating used to be very blue collar.

I wonder if a Quartermain-type could break through today?

Yeah it's a good question. These late millenials, early Gen Z journalists that we're seeing on TV, it seems like it's just a question of which elite APS school they went to, which is a different planet to the path that the Gen Xers and Boomers took to get there.

Yeah, we're not seeing any kids from 'poor schools' as TV reporters or any prominent role in the media no matter how good they might be.

Quartermain was very middle class but yes , there is a whole coterie of jobs that didn't need qualifications but now do. It feeds into the whole university is a scam thing...but quiet...the last person who said that was not allowed to exist

I don’t think middle class and blue collar are mutually exclusive.

Even Eddie, he is upper class now no doubt, but built his career a blue collar way and for the most part still operates that way.

Quartermain is a pompous ****. Blue collar !?!? You’re having a giraffe.

Could've fooled me. The closest he gets to 'blue collar' now is peering out from first class at Broady as the plane flies over it.

agree...total campaigner

 

[Black Diamond]

Eddie is no longer an up-and-comer. Far be it from me to defend him because I resent the power he has, but he has been very successful. Living in a flash house and all the rest does not change how he came upon the success of how he operates in his role now.

Guys like him and Whateley developed their craft like a trade. As we all do, improving in our jobs with experience.

Don’t confuse being well read and spoken for being pompous.

I'm not sure that's the issue, it's more that the industry has contracted so much there is nowhere to learn the trade.
