I would expect he knows what of he speaks, but as for his biases, I can't say.
When I hear "plugged in" I usually expect that means, an insider. He was just the opposite, an outsider. Opposing views are very important, and as an outsider he wouldn't have the biases those insiders have, but still, just read the article linked by Rubecube and I think its fairly obvious where he stands... its not reporting facts, its stitching together an argument, and in that article it seems to tie some things together which are hard to accept if you aren't already on the same page.
