A lot of journalists don’t believe they should support political parties or vote. But judging by his Twitter feed, that wasn’t the argument he was making. :-/

I’ve heard some journalists say that before and I think it’s a terrible argument. I get that actual reporters (vs commentators) may not want to appear publicly partisan but refusing to even exercise their right to cast a private ballot strikes me as a weird affectation, a pretentious show of impartiality that like method acting seeks to overwrite the true self by suppressing it.
