I saw him yesterday and he has apparently taken too many direct blows in the ring! He's more like their 'scoop guy' and is valued by his contacts inside gubmint, so he probably doesn't want to disparage Uncle Suggy as much as a business reporter with a critical eye should....
He has been a beat reporter since before Maria Bartiromo and Joe Kernan/David Faber were. It’s just that he has been unable to move any higher than that. He seems to want to but cannot so he takes the frustration out on basement dwellers. Lol
