Like, is any of this shit real? It's so surreal the contrast between this shit and, like, CNN or The Pod Johns.

But a good run down on the Hunter Biden story, only 1% I had heard before listening to this, if true, I suppose.

What's people's opinions on the host? They seem trustworthy and on the up and up, but like I said, its so surreal.

    idk, to do an episode on the kochs then jump on this hunter biden train a couple months later is pretty fucking bizarre given that they're carrying koch water in doing so

    liz tweeting about 'twitter censorship' about that story but absolutely fuckall about blueleaks got me to stop listening to them entirely

    your last sentence is probably right but that's an indictment on left media more than anything else.

        lol that's some convoluted fucking logic you got there.

        I could give a shit about the hunter biden stuff. It's undoubtedly real, but it's got strong 'gotcha hypocrite' vibes, like making a huge deal about trump banging a pornstar or whatever.

        carrying koch water is joining with the rest of the koch-funded apparatus in decrying big tech censorship over this particular story instead of the real shit that's also been censored, but isn't fucking red meat for that crowd (i.e. BlueLeaks)

        I thought that was pretty fucking clear in my comment, but if you need to strawman any fucking criticism into lib bullshit, suit yourself.

            almost as much of a reach as your last comment

            I'm not saying they're hypocrites, I'm saying they're either lazy or gullible or both. The point about BlueLeaks isn't 'you didn't do it then', it's that you can fucking critique tech censorship without adding your voice to a cryptofash mob.

                lol do you actually think the folks whining about twitter censoring the biden story aren't mostly koch-orbit people?

                    this whole thing started with me pointing out a instance where the right wing wasn't fucking talking about big tech censorship

                    I can't help the fact that you want to conflate my criticism with a defense of failchild corruption that it never was.

                    vote blue no matter who shit

                    I voted for La Riva, who fuuuuuuuucking cares

          Nah dude, it's not "carrying Koch water" to attack corrupt POS democrats.
