This guy represents journalism at its best.

Just started watching, fascinating so far. But are there any S5 spoilers shown/mentioned in this?

nah.


He does talk about his time with the Baltimore Sun, which Season 5 focuses on....but no spoilers.  You should definitely watch it though.  It will compliment season 5 nicely.

Thanks for posting that interview. What a smart guy, and he is very much a realist. Saying that capitalism is the only system that has the power to benefit everyone, while at the same time being nothing but a huge pyramid scheme without significant regulation. You don't hear that perspective much
