I know firsthand.

Made for interesting conversations.
I only had allies when the Jewish liberal guys got mad at the antisemitic liberal guys over Israel :)

I always felt a tinge of that east coast liberal in night line, but what can you do, it’s practically institutional. He was old school in that his reporting really seemed motovated to expose a story, and drill down to the essentials.
It’s very little like the current activist motivations you see now where you blurt out a few facts or play a few soundbites, then go into punditry.
