None of that is unfair criticism, but that doesn't rise to the level of sycophant grifter, it just means he can have bias in his commentary if it concerns someone he represents. Which should not come as a surprise to anyone, but I can certainly agree he should always strive to be transparent about it, and he usually is.

Philosoraptor has a stick up his ass about anyone that remotely supports Trump, and will twist his mind into a pretzel to criticize anyone who does in any way possible. I've had this exact conversation with him before and it doesn't go anywhere.

Pardon me if I sound frustrated, because I was in an exhausting back and forth that followed this exact general idea yesterday, but it should go without saying that just because I'm willing to defend someone against accusations as intense as being a sycophant grifter, does not mean I am saying I endorse or agree with anything they have ever said or done.
