That's exactly my point. His job is to bust the chops of whomever is in power to keep them honest.
So during the past few years that meant he was mostly busting Republican chops.
He was a political operative, then he was a print journalist, now he is a cable news commentator. (He has even said so on the air, and referred to people like Brian Williams as "straight news guys" as opposed to himself, whom he refers to as a commentator)
The people who say he tries to pass himself off as a journalist while the right wing radio hosts don't aren't being honest.
You have a right to your own opinions and your own views,
you don't have a right to your own facts. Calling everyone you don't agree with a pseudo-journalist with an agenda, and everyone you do agree with "fair and balanced" is pretty ridiculous IMO...and basically it means to me you see the world through your own rose colored glasses and are incapable of objective thought....and therefore I really don't need to waste my time listening to anything you say.
I totally understand that people have different worldviews and ideologies, but to filter everything that happens through that ideology and assign them good and bad labels based solely on whether or not you think they agree with you is insane.
