To me he is the sort of person who is so habituated to his current status quo that he cannot conceive of better alternatives. Certainly in the scene where he describes the Games that took place in a ruined city, he is so enthusiastic about the excitement of that particular contest that he is oblivious to the brutality of how that particular Victor won: by dashing the brains of his last remaining rival with a brick.

He is characterized differently in the book and the movie. In the book Katniss actually praises him for helping tributes attract sponsors, and he is not involved in commentating the Games (that's a separate character). In the movie he is sleazy and superficial.
Interestingly, an editorial in the Times yesterday actually referred to a superficial TV commentator as "a Caesar Flickerman". Sounds like he has become iconic. -

In a world of sick, you get sick and adapt.
So he's not any more warped than your average happy-go-lucky-faker, kiss-ass, corporate employee.
We play the cards we are dealt, I suppose. It's not easy being an idealist in a one-track-minded world. It's easy to play the blame game. But if you haven't been put to the test, you don't know how you would react. Eating cinnabons in class and theorizing about reality is a lot different from actually living in it - you know; get up early, go to a braindead job, paying your bills, try not to get depressed
