“Adored his kids Jane and Ben, his dogs, biking and running and basketball and good friends,” wrote O’Brien in a Twitter thread. “Eric was an amazing friend. He fought to rescue journalism and democracy, which need saving. … Brutal to bad media on twitter, sweetest guy in real life. A terrible loss. We’ve lost an awesome human being, handsome/cool/witty dude who kicked ass on our behalf.”
