He has zero journalistic talent. He has zero speaking skills. He has a speech impediment in the form of a tongue that weighs more than Jabba the Hut's but yet he gets a job to fill a quota.
They had plenty of other options. It wasnt a quota reason for taking him. Anyway, he does a good job when he is not talking about Dabo. When he talks about Dabo he sounds like a fool to anyone who follows Dabo closely. I think he is just being a coot.
