I disagree. He has covered three big topics in his jokey rants which I happened to know intimately and he’s gotten them horribly wrong all three times. Like embarrassingly wrong. To pretend all the rest are hard-hitting and well-researched would be some hardcore Gell-Mann amnesia.

Same. Used to enjoy it until it touched some topics I’m very familiar with — gosh they are as bad as any other one-sided crap out there, only more entertaining and hence more persuasive to outsiders. Like, all important facts counter to their narrative are withheld, it was painful to watch. I decided it’s just a comedy show after all, and gradually stopped watching. I’d rather shape my world view with a range of not-so-effective propagandists than a single very effective propagandist.
