I was always under the impression that he's not full time. He posts sporadically, usually around big Apple news, and it seems more out of personal interest than dedication to his job.

Plus, I don't see him as trying not to look biased. If anything, he completely disregards attempts to -- he frequently states that something is his opinion, that seems to be the appeal of the blog. That it's completely biased and all one man's opinion is what makes him so polarising.
