But most of his listeners are not anti vaxxers or racists, otherwise you wouldn’t believe he was a “dangerous” influence.
If the best his critics can manage are character attacks against him and his guests (which is mostly what I’ve seen), his listeners will not only continue to listen to his “misinformation”, but believe he’s trying to be silenced.
That said, I do believe he bears some responsibility to balance out the more controversial viewpoints, and he has stated he will. I would love to see him host two guests with opposing views more frequently.
- smackeyacky 5y agoThats not what I said. I am saying if he decides that growing his audience via the standard laundry list of RWNJ topics and conspiracies, he will slide into being just another Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones. At the moment he isn't that, but he is definitely on that path. I get that it's lucrative since that particular audience seem to be cashed up rubes who will throw money at anybody who panders to them, but it inevitably leads to getting involved in the lies they want to hear.
