As someone who watches pretty much every single news video he puts out, here is my reason. I don't watch his podcast, his news channels are very different. He is very good at doing news research and verification. He is able to piece together the complete picture of a story using multiple articles, showing where discrepancies are and pointing out lies and framing devices. He gives a very unbiased report of what the event is that happened, and gives his own opinion on top of that.
Sure, he isn't perfect by any means. He sits on the fence probably because he doesn't believe that the establishment machine can truly be taken down, and doesn't want to dive into what he sees as being more conspiratorial. His dynamic when recording with other people also isn't great. However, for straight news and political commentary on his own, I think he does a really good job. I don't watch TV format news networks, and a lot of the political right leaning YouTube channels don't do straight researched news videos like he does.
