Have you guys watched Tucker Carlson/Jon Stewart cross fire debate 20 years ago? Nothing has changed.

These people have been performing the same shtick - Pick complex issues and reduce it to us Vs them.

Greenwald used to atleast do some journalism back then. Not anywhere.

As a student I used to follow their routines every night during the Iraq War/G W Bush days. Nodding away. But the longer that went on, it got harder and harder to ignore how pointless, time wasting and energy draining their whole shtick is. The only "value" is in reinforcing how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is.

Media needs to move past propping up these kind of people.

Its easier to get a healthier and nuanced understanding about complex stuff from ChatGPT than such people these days.
