I'm not saying he is or isn't I'm just saying if you offer someone a dream paycheck then you know the old saying "money changes everything". When you have people with even a 500k paycheck it's not going to come without perks. Personal assistants, priority transportation (can't have them late for a show due to traffic) and so on.
Personally like I said before CNN looks like they are going back to their old format. They have a show, a panel of 4 liberals and a conservative to make it look like they aren't outright biased. The format will be balanced meaning that out of 60 minutes you 1/5th or 12 minutes of conservative talking that will mainly amount to "No, of course not, hey that's not right" and so on.
If you start hanging around with millionaire liberals, get invited to private parties, functions, events, the money, the life, the grift will impact judgement. It can happen to the best person.
