I always thought Tim Pool was a hack and conspiracy wingnut. That he’s a bought- and -paid -for hack barely moves that needle.
Too bad about Dave Rubin. Classic liberal who has now drowned in audience capture.
This is another lesson in caveat emptor. Maybe don’t believe everything you see/hear/read online. The right has long shat upon “MSM”….admittedly with good reason. But it’s quite hilarious to see them as the suckers and dupes as well.
I think that the "MSM" is actually quite favorable to the right, especially as the highest-rated MSM channel is Fox News. They've also been getting the sane-washing of Trump from non-Fox orgs for years.
I think this basically comes down to thinking that time hasn't proceeded and things haven't changed since the time when the "MSM" was more biased, or perhaps a better way of putting it may be that it was providing much less of a "both sides say" (sometimes false) equivalency. Now the media provides false equivalency all the time, even when they should be calling things out.
It is somewhat similar to the myth that the GOP is better for business, though perhaps not quite a myth in the same way.
One can only speculate David, but i would guess you never labeled yourself an "influencer," nor did anyone pay you $400,000 a year for your "unbiased" comments?
You left out the best part of this entire debacle: "VICTIMS" they were all just victims as they cashed massive paychecks without bothering to ask why in the world anyone would give them that much money for such tripe? Brain-dead is easy when you have no morals or filters.
It follows the pattern though doesn't it? Is there a bigger "VICTIM" than trump? The obsessive whiner wouldn't exist without the constant and chronic lament about how "unfair" life has been to him. Worst of all, the suckers, dupes and rubes all buy it.
Thanks for adding that old article on data. I wrote yesterday in response to Steve's late night article, "data matters." It always has, it always will. With that out of the way, how about some more Christmas cards from right wing politicians showing the entire family holding automatic rifles? Nice Christmas gift from dad his son eh? May they both rot in prison for a very long time.
Rubin, Pool, and Johnson claim that they are “victims”—their word—in this story. Okay. I accept that. But when someone is a victim of a scheme, he does not usually end up with a pile of money as a result of it. So if these gentlemen are victims then I expect they will either give the ill-gotten money back to the Russian government, or give it away to charity, yes?...
But if Rubin, Pool, and Johnson aren’t going to give the money back—well, that wouldn’t make them victims, would it? It would make the profiteers...
Look, I understand that Dave Rubin, Tim Pool, and Benny Johnson aren’t the MIT Varsity Robotics Team. We are not talking about guys with a surplus of IQ points. But no one in the industry could have looked at the economics of this arrangement and believed that it was on the level.
I mean, Seb Gorka—Seb Gorka!—says he was approached by Tenet but decline to work with them because the money was obviously dirty.
Going to go off topic here David, but it seemed to me to be the perfect time to recognize those true American patriots who sent Christmas cards to their constituents featuring their families all holding automatic rifles. Did they inspire the Colin Gray to give his son Colt one for Christmas?
1). Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
2). Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Co.
3). Congressman Andy Ogles, R-Te.
I think that covers the bases. One can only ponder if they suffer even the tiniest bit of guilt or remorse, or is it all just a "fact of life?"
"The report purposely does not come to a final conclusion, as Mueller did and as the House intelligence committee’s 2018 report did, about whether there is sufficient evidence that Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia to sway the election to him and away from Clinton, leaving its findings open to partisan interpretation."

To note about Putin: the video in which he says that shows that the context is a joke.
The Bible is more spot on than any news story or opinion piece, including the Racket News.

From the PBS link:
