Am I in the right place? Novak has been very astute and nothing he says above is untrue.

Of course, but they think his job is not to be a journalist, but to support the adminstration under all cases.

I believe this comment falls into the petty gripe variety as well as the "pandering to the elite" classification.

Novak isn't criticizing policy here,but rather criticizing the person. And it seems to me it falls into the "kicking a man when he's down" classification as well.
