Philip DeFranco. I watched him for over a decade then after covid I started picking one or two stories from the video to read about and I was pretty disappointed by how often it was mispresented. After a bit its obvious its intentional by what's being left out. Even though we still had the same politics I dont want to watch someone who intentionally skews the stories by leaving out key facts. I can arrive at the right conclusion with the whole story.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

which is why its so important to get anything you're hearing from multiple sources. cause someone is always going to misrepresent it for their own benefit.
and thats a skill people used to have, until social media destroyed peoples attention spans and desire to make any effort on anything.. now the average person hears their news from a 15 second AI clip and takes it as gospel.
Marquez Brownlee. I lost trust in his sincerity and in his personal life he's an asshole with multiple speeding offenses.
Unbox therapy. Infomercials. The whole influencer thing does not influence me.

Mark Rober: I don't want my views converted to money that goes to the Mormon cult.
he became too much mr beast in the end.
I click "Don't recommend channel" whenever I detect bullshit, like if the word "banned" is in the title. Those are never about anything that was actually banned.
The Young Turks.
It was annoying me for a while but I had been a paid member for years and watched their whole show every day. I noticed them giving a bit too much ground to the right and Anna swinging too right for my taste but Cenk was still left enough to let it pass.
I don't remember what finally convinced me but my yearly subscription was coming up and I just couldn't see myself watching it anymore so I unsubscribed and cut off my membership.
I pay for The Majority Report, The Humanist Report, and Kyle Kulinski and those are people I don't think will be betraying the left.
cenk was the one that gave the nepo hire to streamer hasan i believe.
He did start off hiring Hasan but obviously Hasan had a popular show on the TYT network and took his popularity with him when he went over to Twitch.
