Probably because he is a fearless reporter who will go anywhere they send him on a moment's notice. I wrote to Roger Ailes when they first hired him because he had been such an adoring fan of Clintoon. I watched his reporting on FNC and a few months later sent another email expressing that I had changed my mind. He is definitely overenthusiastic in his reporting and it was a stupid mistake drawing specific battle plans in the sand, but I still like him. I do wish FNC would report that he was "disembedded" --- at least a mention of it is in order.
