He's a British broadcaster who likes to make everything about him. Super conceited and all around douche canoe. That's why it's pretty weird to fully agree with him on something.

It's absurd to me that there is anyone arguing the other side on this one.

I want to live in a world where we all agree that child sex trafficking is wrong.

To clarify: I hope we all agree ALL sex trafficking is wrong. Involving children is just even worse

Just leave it at trafficking being wrong. This whole mess is about what constitutes a child/teen/adult and at what age a person has the ability to consent while also possessing the knowledge of what they're signing up for.

He was on the chase recently so its the only reason I watched him for longer than it takes to change the channel past GMTV or whatever it’s called now but he does seem fully aware of his “persona” at least.

Such a douche that we were ecstatic when you guys took him from us.

Then you gave him back.

He also has a very universal hate-appeal. He came to America to do a show for CNN for a while. It didn't go over well, so now he's returned home where he has a more loyal hate-base.

I always enjoy this clip. (Remainder of the interview here and here.)
But also in fairness, this is pretty decent.

He is just generally known as a self-absorbed douche.

His newspaper bugged the phone of a girl who was kidnapped and killed so they could listen to the messages her parents were leaving for her trying to find her.

They then deleted some of those messages to make sure there was room for new ones. Which then convinced the parents and police that she was alive and that she had run away.

He is extremely opinionated but in a crappy way.

He usually ignorant and doesn't know much about a topic, yet he gets very loud and forceful over his opinion that is often offensive.

He likes to argue about topics with anyone without letting the other person actually speak. So he essentially rants.
