I think it's more to do with all that than it is having any sort of 'agenda' against Ann or wanting anything from her. I think it's a worthwhile reason for him to discuss those issues and tbh I don't understand why people seem to have such an issue with it, it doesn't take up much of the show, he doesn't talk about it all the time, and it is probably very helpful for some people watching so it's doing good if that's the case, and like I said it's because of people with views like Ann's that there are some of the problems there are in the first place, he's just providing a counter to that and using the show to get it across I suppose.

If he had stuck to just doing like you have written, he would have done well.

His incessant pontificating about it at every opportunity has had the reverse effect and become boring.

His association with Andrew and his backing when Andrew name called was bad judgement.

His going from person to person badmouthing Ann has also been seen and not in a good light.

Like India said, He may have cocked this up.
