I didn't respect him before, but this is how a child tries to lie. There is no way you can be in his line of work without hearing "AIPAC" spoken a number of times, so his opinion of his audience must be lower than dirt to think they'd buy that.

Like, yeah he's a liar regardless, but this is such pathetic theater that I don't know how to process its implications about the "media ecosystem." He isn't just talking like Trump, he is basically pouring scorn on his audience like Trump by presenting them with such insultingly ridiculous lies, and I'm sure many of them will eat it up since Chorus's immune response has been pretty virulent so far.

Rightfully so. He might have the dumbest Blue MAGA audience outside of the Ukraine sloptubers. If he played peekaboo on air like 30 of them would die trying to find him through the monitor.

Saw him continue to say he's funded by subscribers not companies but then he has a massive sponsors list on his side
