mmmk, I don't think he is taking positions he doesn't believe in

and we are literally bringing this up in context of him losing a portion of his audience

I think 'grifter' in this context means exploiting credulous people with things to which you know they will respond well, as opposed to what you believe or can support sufficiently to yourself

Inconsistent in outrage. I’m fine with going after cnn but he wouldn’t dare go after any right wing news (he knows his audience likes) with the same intensity and outrage. Even though the gripe he has occurs there as well @realz

To a greater degree in some cases

meh I don't expect partisans to go after their own side

_I_ go after CNN

That is a business choice.

I don't talk about Fox

am I a grifter?

@realz oh no I am not talking about in the past day or so with powell. I mean in the past year

Robert doesn't do this for the money, if he did, he'd be more inclined to approach in a more biased fashion like you find with other commentators. He knows that his method of approaching things is not the one that will lead to the quickest buck/fastest growth.

@realz I do if they claim to be Non political and say they strive to be objective

But a lot of these other folks on youtube are using the platform to make their primary income.

Their use of the platform is simply different.

I mean if questioned I will agree to that, but I don't spend most my time criticizing the right

most partisans don't

My conclusion is if he went after people and news organizations his audience liked he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of those people for viewership

but he is a partisan, why should he do that

IMO there is no greater or loyal fan than a trump supporter

@realz he claims he isn’t

mmmk

and that guy was in here yesterday and thought his truth was The Truth

people believe all sorts of things about their own opinions

lol

If you can get that market, which isn’t hard. You will have a loyal fan base that has ever been

well I watch Frei for Barnes

I thought about my self

and Barnes is a partisan

explicitly

Barnes is hyper partisan

and I find it very informative

Which is really why I find it laughable viva claims to be non partisan

I don't really care much about Viva's opinions on things in anycase

he's a Canadian lawyer

he - admits openly - is not very knowledgeable of US law, which is why most of his stuff is in interview format

Pennsylvania court blocked vote certification

Yeah but his audience is primarily US right wingers

mmmm
