Seems like a nice guy. He will be missed.
Heh. Well, coming out tends to help. It helped Monica. His motive to participate seems sound - he wanted an agreement to have some of his confidential sources left unnamed. He also says the reporting world is upside down, NYT is the Enquirer, and the Enquirer is the NYT. He thinks that ought to be corrected.
Not only a nic guy...very reasonable and credible.
