    He was always someone you had to take critically. They do have some good reporting on a lot of things, but they did seem to have this kind of general contrarian and Anti-America vibe. Which if you pull random US foreign policy issue, is most likely the correct angle and means that they often take the correct stance on their reporting. But isn't accurate 100% of the time, which is why they had some bad takes(I forget some other good examples, but Mizokon noted going soft on the Myanmar Junta), and will directly steer you wrong when the US establishment is telling you to take a vaccine.

          Warning that on "The West Wing Thing" he and Josh (co-host) will sometimes shit on China and North Korea when getting really riled up about stupid things going on in the US. So like, most of the time things are super cool and good with the occasional "nails on a chalk board" thrown in.

              Its just a thing that happens very rarely and kinda comes outta the blue. Its a bit of a shock when it happens.
