(26,848 posts)early days with all the streaming problems and the pixelated ass video quality. He was always kind of a meathead who'd agree with the last person who'd talk to him. He'd nod his head at Ted Nugent's moronic rantings on Monday. Then tell Abby Martin she's right about pretty much everything on Wednesday. But at least he seemed genuinely curious and would also invite actual scientists and philosophers.
What happened to him was that Covid broke his brain as well as suffering some serious audience capture. he jumped on the "woke" bandwagon. His audience who used to be more mixed became more and more right wing, the more he had on fascists like that Milo dickhead and pushed less and less. He saw how much more $$$ he could make pandering to imbeciles, and that's that. I'm pretty sure he's never even claimed that bullshit excuse of yours that "Whaaaah!!! the leftists were soooo mean to me, so now I gotta go full on fascist!".
And as far as those "mean leftists" go, if you wanna defend him calling black people apes like 20 times in one episode. Be my guest. At a minimum he deserved to be called out for that shit. Platforming Alex Jones for years in spite of all the pain and suffering that bag of shit caused the Sandy Hook parents is not something to defend either.
