Title: Russell Brand
Post by: Jake on November 05, 2021, 12:17:13 PM
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon Brand's channel earlier this year, but I am glad I did. His social commentary on current events is spot on most of the time and I like the way he delivers his opinions. His channels has recently been blowing up - I think he gained like 2M subscribers in the past 3 months. Give it a shot:

I listened to a good chunk of the second one and I didn't hear much I disagreed with.  But then again I don't often get political news or opinions from random comedians or people on YouTube.

talk about a network that turned to shit, eh? I mean, even with Trump gone, that is all they can concentrate on. No wonder they are so down in ratings.

Why do republicans care so much about ratings?  And why has it turned to shit?  Please elaborate.  Fox News and Trump and Limbaugh have been saying that kind of shit for years and it's so ... trite at this point.  Can't you guys come up with another way to trash talk?

because they substituted facts for opinion. And this is mostly true of all other mass media, including FOX.

It is true of all mass media.  But you're telling me that Russell Brand has no opinion?
