    One of the founders of Vice, McInnes went on to be involved in right wing media as well. None of these lads believe a word they're saying but they're making a fortune peddling hysteria to the new left and the new right.

    Breitbarts crowning moment was when he claimed a school in LA re-naming Saint Patricks Day to Potato Day was the sign of Obama's impending PC apocalypse.

    You mean that wasn't when they started campaigning for pedophilia?

    If McInnes doesn't believe what he says he must have his skin scrubbed raw from all the showers he must take.

    I always get the impression he's slightly laughing at his fan base most of the time.

    Do they want to be entertainers or political commentators or both? All of them best ignored including TYT, Alex Jones, Shapiro and loads of others.

    And why did you think it was so important to tell us all this? Do you seriously think the people who run a major American newspaper are communists?
    Do you know how dumb that sounds?

    Ben Shapiro brings facts to this talks. You might want to watch his videos before trying to disparage him again.

    Shapiro does talk a lot of sense, but he is also a zionists shrill, who is quiet happy to let America ( in fact he encourages it) meddle in the middle east at the bidding of Israel,

    Ben is religious and believes in god. That's enough to write him off as a loon.

    Ben never uses religion as the foundation for his arguments. Stop being ignorant.

    No. He's said it numerous times that he doesn't rely on it. Maybe you should actually watch his speeches [there's plenty on youtube] before spouting off again.

    And they wonder why Trump calls them Fake news.

    Like this idiot from Newsweek who claimed Trump was in a Mental Hospital and even seen his medical records but wouldn't answer a simple Yes or No question about it.

    Sometimes I feel bad for Eichenwald. He is known by a chunk of people for his rather unusual choice of tabs while tweeting. His twitter description is gradually shrinking and he seems like the kind of person that spends far to much time on social media. Last thing I saw was him broadcasting through tweets at an airline that his wife had contacted Hepatitis.

    I don't. He's a lying scumbag. He's part of the reason why nobody trusts the media anymore.
