5. Yep, he said "VOTE" just this past week.
And it was clear who he wanted people to vote for.

2. It use to be that a real news reporter didn't vote, so they can stay impartial. n/t

3. And this comes as a surprise to you because??
I think most of Keith's longtime fans know he doesn't vote, whether or not they agree with the principle he espouses for why he as a journalist should not vote.

6. Even though I disagree with
his decision I can respect it and understand where he is coming from. I like it that he as a reporter wants to just be honest and correct about what he is talking about and not be biased. He could always say it's nobody's business who he votes for and just not give any donations to any campaign.

4. It's pure conceit to think a man of principle must vote, and vote (D)
There USED to be such a thing as common beliefs and principles (for the most part) in America. This rancid partisanship where refusal to serve and obey the Leader is treason is relatively new in its extemism and complete desynching from reality.
