I'm not sure if it's malice when you're indifferent to the truth. I just think he's a sophist and he'll say whatever he thinks might persuade people to his side.

Krugman is also a sophist, but I think he might also be narcistic enough that he wants to have the appearance of great intellectual sophistication.

Undisciplined

Yeah, I thought that was good as well.

When people like Reich who I believe is very intelligent gloss over stuff as he does in these video's it makes me think this more malice vs. ignorance or just being wrong.
