Some of the reporters he used to work with are speculating he might have been made an offer he couldn't refuse. Not saying it's blackmail but yeah it might be blackmail
For Occam's razor - blackmail is a perfect fit. I had a super-quickie look at his Twitter account and his most recent activity was pro-Kirk posts.
Especially considering all of the books he wrote, how he was critical of isn't real 20+ years ago. It just doesn't seem coherent for someone that smart and dare I say principled to make such a drastic shift to the dark side. But then again there's Russell Brand so I dunno
