And I'm positing that he intentionally feeds the intolerant reaction because it keeps his profile raised and the revenue flowing. That, at a high level, makes him a shock jock.
The content - offensive/inaccurate or not - doesn't matter if the host knows their show causes outrage and chooses to lean into it.
Edit: He's different from other shock jocks, though, in that he's been smart enough to do this in a way that straddles the line - he doesn't look like a Limbaugh or a Stern and can say that he's "just doing research" and "only asking questions", while still intentionally profiting from outrage.
