IMHO, some people may question his credibility as a truly objective journalist. The perception seems to be that he goes more for sensationalism to the point of provoking confrontations.
Didn’t he do an autobiography/memoir in which he claimed to have had sex with a number of famous females who subsequently found his claims laughable?
