If they trust him, that's their right as listeners and it's his right as an American to speak to them. DarkRoast posted... The fundamental problem with that is the assumption that the audience has enough knowledge to objectively determine that. Don't start acting like all people are looking for objective news and information. The amount of people who watch stuff like CNN, MSNBC, Fox, OANN, etc. it's proof enough that people don't seek objectivity-- those viewers want people who agree with them but can package their biases in a way that makes it feel like objectivity. If we crack down on personal opinions on podcasts and shows, we need to also crack down heavily on selective reporting, biased political leanings, etc. in all "news" media... Which just won't happen. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. <cite>Gobstoppers12 posted [p:962332998] in Trevor Noa...
