He doesn't both sides things. He usually just doesn't give his opinion cause he's just there to give the facts and when he does give his opinion it's very brief. He's not trying to be a commentary channel. he's trying to provide the facts in an easily consumable format
Paid family leave is an unambiguous issue. Much like the Unite The Right rally, the fact that some asshole right-wingers are full of bullshit doesn't change that. I didn't say he's trying to "appease" them, although he often does that too, but rather to not alienate them outright

The fact that he was more concerned with telling people to check out Gary Johnson over defeating Trump, or even covering what an idiot Trump is, is the tell - it was to create an air of faux-neutrality so as to not alienate Trump voters that he maintains to this day.

When in reality, the most neutral, fact-based position, is that Trump is an idiot fascist who should be subject to impeachment by now, and that the only reason he hasn't been is partisan hackery within the Republican Party. That's an unbiased take, without even adding opinion.

You think its unambiguous because you agree with it, but that doesn't change the fact that many right wingers don't agree with it. If he were trying not to alienate them then he wouldn't make a big video about why paid family leave is needed

He's willing to alienate people who disagree with him about unambiguous issues like this, of the Daddyoffive thing, where some people like Keemstar genuinely came out in favor of the child abuse at one point or another. He's fine alienating people when it's easy to do so.
