That seemed to be where the author really diverges from Joe. Joe's not going to give a holistic view (I think the author would agree), just usually a positive one.

He's definitely not pretending to be 60 Minutes. FWIW I just recently started listening to JRE, and I kind of agree with the author at the end in that I'll probably skip the Jones episodes.
