I'm not afraid to say I read most of his columns, but it doesn't mean I agree with all his takes. I do like how he's not afraid to ask pointed questions and publish unpopular views, which is part of his job as an opinion columnist. If you don't like it, don't click … but I suspect even a lot of the complainers do.

IMO, He consistently reports stories without telling the entire story. He holds back details to form his narrative and thus makes something out of nothing. Not to mention he takes his own opinions, without facts or evidence and passes them off actual news. He revels in creating controversy and click bait.


Just look at his last tweet about Vladar breaking his stick. Vladar literally had to reply back and point out what Eric was missing in his story.



again, just my opinion.
