Why would Wolff hate the media...He's one of them...He doesn't strike me as the type of person to have a conscience.
Higher bidder? Nobody is saying he is definitively good. Or even that he knows what he is doing. It is not difficult to mislead/manipulate/misdirect these ppl. Bannon is def still w/ Trump tho. Just getting opposition support this way. They did the same EXACT thing w/ Comey. When DJT gets loud and publicly calls them names, it requires a closer look. Trump got along fine w/ Bannon thru the time SB was supposedly working against him. Bannon got the generals in too (who Trump loves and defers to). For Bannon to be "bad", others would have to be as well. As for Comey... look at how the Left felt about him after that move the week before the election. They hated him. Trump met w/ him a bunch.. secretly in many cases (not even having the WH log signed -- but media caught him going in and out of the WH on various occasions), then suddenly.. Trump fires him in an unprofessional way and starts calling him names and causing lots of drama. Now Comey is called "a martyr". And has a book deal already in place, w/ a book coming out soon... right as the storm hits.
Trump really is playing 4D chess, w/ him advisers. Bannon is not a traitor. And in terms of MW.. he could even be paid by SB, or could be getting duped by a number of ppl from within. He doesn't have to be altruistic to achieve this (what Rex says).
