I don't understand why he gets credit from some for breaking news first. When he is first, he's just reading newspaper articles or reading off the Disneyland website blog, and for analysis all he frequently does is add his customary "we'll have to see, we'll have to see." Yes, he repeats it twice, yes he repeats it twice. (At least others add some context and don't just read articles verbatim, that's why they're a little slower.)
And when it comes to other theme parks he's often way behind many others. He's just now covering the Universal Super Nintendo World store.
