Everyone calls him a journalist but when is the last time he did some real journalism or reporting? His show is commentary on news and stories reported by others.

He was only interesting when you could watch him wake up to the left’s insanity live.

Now he just panders

I think he’s hired a team of journalists. I don’t blame him for not wanting to run around with a camera during a riot, which was most of his reporting early on.

He’s more of a opinion guy and has been for awhile . Compared to the MSM he would be considered a journalist but then again so would I .

I get so sick of him saying “ look I’m not a doctor, but talk to your doctor”

He used to be on the ground.

Then he got high enough profile people started recognizing him and giving him shite and threatening them.

He now hires people to go on location.

Cant blame him. When you get up high enough you have to run your shite.

At least hes trying. At least he pulls the aggregate articles and posts them all.

I find some of his headlines interesting but his analysis is often amusingly middle of the road. He will make some angry right leaning statements and then immediately issue a series of milquetoast comments to soften the blow. I think he serves a good purpose to disseminate info, but his commentary can get stale after a while.

I wonder how he is handling all this Jack Murphy cuckold backlash behind closed doors?

Tim Poole has good discussions - he just doesn’t have much of a backbone on taking real stances.

He waffles and qualifies with every statement he makes.

As opposed to his guests which is why his show is good.

I don't mind Tim, but the best shows are with guests who will challenge him. Michael Malice for example.

This. I enjoyed watching him while he was an actual liberal calling out authoritarian progressives. He swung a little too far for me to take him seriously anymore.

He does a good job of providing metadata with all of the content out there
