The problem is he isn’t actually objective.  He’s just a centrist. Rational analysis of the stories he covers is constantly pulling him to the right, which you can see whenever he actually gets angry and resolute in response to the facts.  But then in the next segment his left leaning bias immediately reassert itself and resets his position back towards the ridiculous progressive side of the fence. I think his inability to commit to a reasoned conclusion is rooted in the fact that he’s mixed race.  He gets fucked by a race conscious right wing.  He gets fucked by a race conscious left wing.  He only benefits if everyone stays asleep on race, so he’ll never be able to be fully honest about the root issues in the culture war he’s always talking about.  It’ll always be about politics, never race.
