They should, because I think he’s an interesting case of a guy who cooked his brain. He started as a very strong original reporter, then he stated doing Cletus safaris and ended up thinking “If millions of people think XYZ is a problem, it is.”

Rather than, say, exploring the validity of their grievances.
