Rick Bell is a conversative leaning columnist for the Calgary Sun, primarily. When Post Media merged the Sun and the Herald, we got him on both papers often. He has a unique writing style and a way of getting his point to the common man using common sense thinking some of the time. Some of the time his thoughts are a little out there for something basic.
His career covering city and provincial politics is legendary and is well known within the journalism community. He is a beat writer who pounds the pavement looking for the story. When CTV, CBC or other news outlets are looking for a western perspective, a conservative perspective, an Alberta political perspective and more, they will bring on Rick Bell sometimes.
I am on the younger side, but I ALWAYS appreciate experience and different view points when it comes to media. I don't always agree with everybody but that is the point. Far too often these days we are writing off people media we don't agree with and older people with the experience in the matters. It's not healthy
