The name of his company "Punchbowl" says it all. As if standing around a punchbowl while people drink and gossip is journalism.

They are reporting/commenting on Washington political news. Seems to fit.

He's very proud of his relationship with them while pretending to be only 'reporting the facts'. He's despicable.
