This.
It's also his constant whataboutism that he uses to divert attention from the **** that Trump's doing and to push the blame on his predecessors.
Toss that on top of seeking to delegitimize left-leaning media outlets while letting right-wing outlets pass and even appearing on their shows and it's clear that he has more interest in making TV appearances than the current state of the world.

Let's do this.

He doesn't write things critical of people who everyone else is already critical of because it doesn't get him off, essentially. This is nothing new, he's always been like this. It's just that under Democratic rule, his claim to be a speaker of truth to power seemed more plausible.
Very true. I also believe that he throws out a lot of hot takes and contrarian viewpoints to draw attention to himself and separate himself from the rest of the journalists out there (though I hesitate to call him a journalist). He's more interested in his own popularity than being the supposed truthteller he thinks he is.
Guy's periodically mentioning Snowden to remind people of how great he is for doing what he did not realize that the Snowden gravy train broke down a long time ago.

I'm 30 and recently had a pretty hot 19/20 year old chick seem really into to me but I shut it down because it felt wrong. Can't lie though I definitely wanted to.
18/19 year olds bore the hell out of me. I can't talk to one for much longer than 10-15 minutes without wishing that I was some place else.
Last time I had a girl that young I was 27. Even then it felt awkward.
