Possibly. I think he really lacks an ability to see how his attention seeking habits negatively affect others, and I don’t think he’s quite capable of having it explained to him.
I feel like something broke in his brain when he got fuck you money for doing good investigative journalism in the early 90s.
Like his brain went “oh okay. Just tell people how they’re being manipulated and you get a free ride.” and he’s been stuck there ever since. And his tales of how we’re being manipulated grew taller and taller.
It’s like some attention seeking shit mixed with a super low IQ. Idk.
