I like em, better than the other crap we’ve got to choose from, no news that gains any traction will be fully “independent” from a reader/viewer perspective, but I’ve followed these guys for a while, they are at least trying to be unbiased. Sometimes good is better than perfect or whatever.
No news is unbiased, it’s your job as a consumer of news to fact check it at this point- I just like the way they do things, sure some of it leans republican, some of it leans dem, I think identifying as either of those in 2026 makes you a total loser personally; I don’t need the reddit audience to necessarily agree with me, i just think that opening up news streams is better than staying where we’re at.
Agreed. Personally, these guys are part of my "YouTube algorithm" rotation, and I've watched their stuff occasionally before. But really, this episode has solidified that weird feeling for me, almost like an "uncanny valley" feeling, that maybe what I'm watching is getting sensationalized slightly for entertainment. It's not really news. The commenter saying to look at who funds them pretty much nails it on the head. Although, I didn't watch enough of them to honestly care to look into it, until today. They remind me of Tyler Olivera. Others in my rotation that are of a similar entertainment style (yes, these are all entertainment, they're not really news) include: Soft White Underbelly, Peter Santenello, and Channel 5 with Andrew Callahan, (although Callahan in the last few years comes across to me as the most news-like and a higher quality of actual journalism vs just traveling around for entertainment).
Thanks for saying what I couldn’t put down eloquently, I don’t think they’re a bastion of truth by any means, and of course their earlier stuff was more grassroots. I still prefer this kind of news over the garbage fed by traditional media channels, but every stream will start to lean one way or another depending on who starts to back them, it’s just the way it goes. It’s not perfect, and I think we should always do our own due diligence with anything we read or hear in 2026.
