He was always a bit too Leftist for my personal tastes but, and this is a big but, he did his job pretty damn well all things being considered. It was a different time though and the MSM was still something close to being proper 4th Estate instead of the lamestream, Liberal propaganda machine that they turned into.
One thing I’ll miss about his work is that he had the proper level of cynicism about the process of politics and elections in the US and could explain the realities of realpolitik in a manner that most people could understand and absorb.
