@rethaiard @X_Z_ko @jvgraz I'm not here to cheerlead for Seder, but Hinkle just wanted to play gotcha and talk about dumb things and def not about his ideology... because he believes whatever gets him clicks today. Story selection is most important for me, and Seder's show is typically decent for that.
@masspolwatch @X_Z_ko @jvgraz I don't care about Hinkel either. No, the show is a pile of BS that on every issue explains how horrible the establishment is, but in the end still bows to the establishment. The only real person with any balls, Brooks, was in favor of US occupation of Syria FFS!
@rethaiard @X_Z_ko @jvgraz I think Krystal | Saagar are mostly quacks. Still watch a topic i'm interested in . Rogan is credible on MMA and little else. He also gets amazing guests. I'm not going to not watch a good guest because i think his covid nonsense is stupid. Info doesnt have a team.
@masspolwatch @X_Z_ko @jvgraz Yeah, and so does Dore, Greenwald, and even Tucker Carlson ... Guess what the TMR crew will call you if they find out you watched an interesting guest on Rogan or one of those shows? Maybe you need to talk with them? You & I watch more varied programming than they want us to.
@rethaiard @X_Z_ko @jvgraz Not something I've heard, but i don't watch it a ton. They can say whatever they want, I'm a big boy I can deal. I have no use for Dore or Carlson. I used to consider Greenwald near godly. Few things make me more sad than the sideshow he's turned into.
@masspolwatch @X_Z_ko @jvgraz Huh?? What had he done for you to consider him a side show?
@rethaiard @X_Z_ko @jvgraz Gone from an epic investigative journalist with balls to the ground to opinion crafter who spins contrarian nonsense that is barely distinguishable from Blumenthal and Mate.
@masspolwatch @X_Z_ko @jvgraz What? And an example of this 'contrarian nonsense'?
@rethaiard @X_Z_ko @jvgraz Just about everything Grey Zone puts out. Its pure State Dept counter-narrative. If State says the sky is blue and Bluementhal was on Dore screaming the sky is red, I wouldn't be surprised at this point. That's not journalism. Its bullshit propaganda no more usefull than State's
@masspolwatch @rethaiard @X_Z_ko "Everything" is not an answer. If what you're saying is true, you should have no problem pointing to specific examples of the Grey Zone lying simply to oppose the State Dept. I'll just wait here...
@jvgraz @rethaiard @X_Z_ko Nah, I mean two whole stories on Navalny, both negative, being two more times than the zero its ever mentioned the govt in Russia that tolerates, often even encourages, open season on gay people. I'm sure its a coincidence.
@masspolwatch @rethaiard @X_Z_ko So you have no examples of that thing you confidently claimed they do. Thanks for clearing that up. And no, you being butthurt over their editorial choices is not the same thing.
@masspolwatch @jvgraz @X_Z_ko Navalny? Yes, he sure does have a more Western take on LGBTQ+ ... as long as they are White! workers.org/2021/02/54546/ Even Amnesty International withdrew their claim he was a 'prisoner of conscience'!
