(28,151 posts)On the one hand, I appreciate the NSA revelations though haven't been nearly as shocked by any of it as many have been.
On the other hand he is a very biased columnist (yet so often confused with being a just-the-facts journalist) who is obviously in need of a great deal of attention, regularly. Preferably support and plenty of sympathy because of his victim-hood that he makes evident, also regularly.
I daresay I consider him to be less than forthright in his efforts to conceal or deny his biases.
And milking the NSA story (bombshell coming SOON!1!) and such, yeah, got a whiff of whore to it.
Then again I do hear he's working on or soon to be something with an actual journalist. Something like that. I would be glad to see him push on into such work and eventually just drop out of the counter-productive shit-flinging-monkey routine entirely.
I guess, in the end, it's not a black-and-white or yes-or-no kind of situation. I realize you tried to address the complexity of the views people hold of him but the choices given, none of them were a close enough fit for me to pick one.
