He has extensive experience in political news coverage, having worked in the field for the most of his distinguished career. The public has labeled him a partisan journalist at times, but he says it comes with the position.

Again, if you receive very special information that can help you work on a topic of discussion, you will be torn between what to report and what to just ignore. Sometimes you're the only one with information about a story that delegates don't want to spread. As soon as you do, they can easily pick you up,” he said.
