I have always liked Juan, even though I have disagreed with him many times. Lately, on FNS, he has been too much of an apoplogist for the current administration. But he seems like a good, fair man, generally speaking. Perhaps there was a good reason for me to like him, after all....
I have a different take. Juan is someone who desperately, desperately wants to be a good Leftist, but is tormented by occasional lapses of intellectual honesty. That said, he always finds some rationale/justification for rejecting the facts and logic to once again find his way back home when he has strayed.
I was mostly irritated with Juan on Fox, although he seemed to believe what he said. On that note, I always liked the way he monitored a show he filled in for. It was very fair and balanced.
