A right wing hack trying to redeem himself now that he finally sees the writing on the wall. It's really interesting to listen to his word salad trying to acknowledge current events and also not going counter to the *resident's policy/position.

His book might be OK, but I will not buy it and I will not recommend it.

Not morally courageous at all. That is a different thing.

He successfully walks the line, in part using his daddy's reputation, as a "serious journalist", to make millions pretending to care about the truth. He successfully convinces enough from the right AND the left that he is credible and fair. He is able to couch anything, cleverly, from both sides enough to appease them. Dismissing Colin Powell as a Democrat since Obama, and "I'd push back a little in that he didn't say ALL the protesters are violent...." He talks one way to a liberal audience and another on a Fox roundtable.
