I get it though. Would take a lot more courage to take the republican side, than the democrat one.
At least in academia, hollywood, network TV or social media...

Nah, in the Trump era, it just takes more stupidity and racism.

Thanks for highlighting my point, with your ignorance and distasteful description of your neighbours. You must be fascinating at mixed social gatherings.
Or maybe you simply can't function around unprotected social situations. There IS a lot of that going around...

Republicans, since Reagan, have the firm belief that whatever the government is up to is no good. Even after taking two gov't covid shots from Pfizer.

I can see you saying that, since you're a fan of his. I don't dismiss his concerns, but I doubt Crowder's sincerity.

I listened to his interview with John Stossel. Stossel used to be a regular on my local paper's op-ed page, and I share his view of Crowder's comedy, that it's unnecessarily mean. I don't think he was that impressed with Crowder either.
I must say I agree. Crowder started out as an actor, a comedian, and a pundit. He's never worked a reporter job, and it shows. It's kind of like Rachel Maddow's background in a way, strong on entertainment, but not so much on the discipline of reporting.

Gov. Greg Abbott signs into law one of nation’s strictest abortion measures, banning procedure as early as six weeks into a pregnancy
Gov. Greg Abbott signed into a law Wednesday a measure that would prohibit in Texas abortions as early as six weeks — before some women know they are pregnant — and open the door for almost any private citizen to sue abortion providers and others.
The signing of the bill opens a new frontier in the battle over abortion restrictions as first-of-its-kind legal provisions — intended to make the law harder to block — are poised to be tested in the courts.
Abortion rights advocates have promised to challenge the new law, which they consider one of the most extreme nationwide and the strictest in Texas since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. It would amount to an outright ban on abortions, as the six-week cutoff is two weeks after a missed menstrual cycle, opponents say.

Also running is former Missouri governor Eric Greitens, who resigned in 2018 after a series of scandals involving allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign ethics violations.
(Democrats want Greitens as opponent)

These are alt-Right buzz words. Using these words with people who don't know what they mean allows a far-Righter to level up.

I would go further and outright say that it IS self-promotion.

Ya. He doesn't have positions that are outrageous though, despite the fact that his comedy aims to be. He does a decent job on the 'change my mind' segments, and the beautiful thing is, anyone could do better. Often don't, but that's ok too.

'In a way' if you don't take into account that Maddow's background includes a bachelor's degree in public policy from Stanford and a doctorate in political science from Oxford University. Crowder on the other hand managed two semesters of higher education and quit to pursue his comedy/acting career.
Re: Republicans: continued
Maddow ever find that pee-pee tape? Or is she still convinced she was right about Russia?

Re: Republicans: continued
Yes, but my point is not that Maddow is the same as Crowder, but is similarly challenged from a reporting standpoint. Reporter is a discipline separate from that of pundit, and that distinction is significant. Maddow has had some significant factual missteps, as has Crowder.L'Emmerdeur wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 10:05 pm'In a way' if you don't take into account that Maddow's background includes a bachelor's degree in public policy from Stanford and a doctorate in political science from Oxford University.

As pundits go, Maddow is certainly better at presenting a logical case. Crowder is a sloppy thinker who appeals to emotion where Maddow is well organized and persuasive as you would expect of her education level. In a way, they each fit their audience, but I don't treat them as highly reliable. They aren't paid to be objective sources of information.
