Yeah I reckon you can't call one podcast an alt right conspiracy spew without believing "the media is truly independent and always tells the full truth in an unbiased manner, that no alternative media organization has ever legitimately exposed even a single mainstream narrative that was less than truthful."

It seems you conflate "deviating from mainstream media" as being alt-right. I'm sure people like Amy Goodman, Cenk Uygur, Tim Pool, and Ezra Klein would be surprised to learn this puts them firmly in the alt-right. In fact, thinking the mainstream is useless doesn't betoken right or left, only that what the major networks are saying doesn't correspond with reality on the ground.

You’ve defined No Agenda or Curry as just being “deviating from mainstream media,” decided that is what I must mean by alt-right, and worked yourself up into a lather about it.

How you can determine what I am or am not conflating based on my statement about a single media property and the guy behind it is beyond me.

We get it. You’re a fan. You don’t want to be a fan of an alt right guy. That’s your conundrum to work out, not mine.

Then why don't you actually state what it is about Adam Curry that makes him alt-right in your mind. You have not done that yet.
Re:Adam Curry launches a new, open podcast directory by leahey on Tuesday September 08, 2020 @05:14PM (#24413472)
I've said it several times. Grab an episode of No Agenda and give it a listen. Alternatively, check out any of the times he has filled in for Alex Jones on Infowars; a quick Google turns up the August 9, 2017 episode.

I've listened to every episode of No Agenda since maybe 2008 or so. Yes, I am a fan, so biased, but I see no real evidence of him fitting any definition of alt-right, but again, since you haven't actually defined what you mean by that or given any concrete examples, I have to assume you are just trolling. Seems wrong though to throw someone into that category since these days many people use the term alt-right as a synonym for racist or Nazi.

> Its pretty clear why you're here

Because you made up a serious accusation about someone, repeated it frequently, can't provide evidence to back it up, and that's disgusting?

> I haven't seen someone brag about their seniority on a website

Me neither! Who did that?

You seem to have confused me pointing out that your don't conform to expected behavior (because you don't) and saying you're new here (because you are) with bragging. It's just pointing out you're a bad person.

>can't provide evidence to back it up

Have. Not your personal researcher.

>...don't conform to expected behavior...

And yet, my initial comment is doing just fine despite your suggestions people flag it. Hmm.

No you haven't. you haven't provided a single link as we've all pointed out.

I thought this was about the expectations of a user on here? Now its about ethics? You must have strong legs to do all this jumping. You should try just saying what you mean the first time.

Why not? It's a plausible (not impossible) state of reality, is it not?

I was just asking, as there are people that truly seem to believe the "mainstream" media is indeed truthful. Some of my relatives, for example.
