And Brit can get properly pissed at times. I love it when he gets angry, because he's always on the right side of the issue.
It's like arguing with an attorney. You can't win because they have insight you don't. Pundits and the press are similar in that they are perceived as experts in their field and it takes someone from within their profession to nail them properly when the are misreporting, guessing, misstating the facts, etc. Brit's long history, professionalism and sense of fairness gives him the perspective and knowledge to correct others in his field.
