I only met Alan Colmes once, but we had numerous radio friends in common who loved the guy and I followed his impressive career every chance I got. Alan represented the views of a very select minority in media heavily dominated by conservative voices: talk radio and Fox News. Relevant to the end, Alan was a bit of a throwback to talk radio's younger days when opposing views clashed openly and frequently on the same station and often on the same show. In an era where today's talk is so polarized to the point where we isolate ourselves in convenient ideological bubbles, Alan thrived on staying engaged with those who had differing views. R.I.P.
