Media critic Eric Boehlert, the founder of Press Run media and a former fellow at Media Matters for America, died in a bicycle accident Wednesday at the age of 57, journalist Soledad O’Brien reports.
A fierce critic of conservative propaganda networks, Boehlert was equally critical of mainstream networks that slanted their coverage to favor Republicans and conservatives in a quest to appear fair, while rejecting objectivity.
Boehlert is survived by his wife and two children.
