The "Political Reporting" section of this article seems to merely be two minor incidents in a career of political reporting, and primarily placed there to show his sparing with hot names on the left of the political spectrum. The section does not chronicle anything of a particular note and I think it should be deleted.

Actually, considering this again, this should be merged under Journalism (as his career is political journalism).

Yes, the old division made it appear that these incidents are the unique times when his reporting touched on politics, as opposed to merely examples.
