He comes off like a greasy huckster, trying to weasel out of the truth.
I’d say that Medved is less than upfront with his listeners.
He shares some of the values of his old pals on the Left. He doesn’t emphasize that but he does mention it in passing on occasion.
By comparison he loathes some of the old Right conservatives and isn’t shy about it. The common theme I notice is his hatred for any of them who are even slightly ‘isolationist’.
Maybe he forgets that he had a chance to involve himself in one of America’s hot wars, and he not only chose to be an isolationist, he arguably worked for the other side.
