    Russ drops The NY Times article saying unvaccinated are a diverse group of ‘Young People, Black, Latino, and Democrats’

    British comedian vs American cable news dude

    @EddieWasSnubbed
    Maybe it’s not a narrative if you don’t go looking for stories to put on your cable show

    maybe we need to be British colonies again

    People of privilege will equate a vaccine mandate to apartheid.

    That's how you know they live very comfortable lives when minor inconveniences for public health are being compared to tyranny and apartheid.

    Russell Brand ... comedian turned right-wing-nut bomb thrower. An interesting, unexpected metamorphose? A Desperate Cry for Help?

    He's still economically a socialist. I guess that mindset naturally makes you skeptical of pharmaceutical companies.l and their motives.

    His point is that the unvaccinated is not motivated by politics which is what the cable news media is trying to sell

    So is Kyrie a right winger?

    The best thing for ratings for the cable news networks is to divide the audience.

    Like when the West Coast vs East Coast rap started, it created HUGE record sales for both sides.
    However if you push it too far, you lose Biggie and Tupac

    There are people who buy Tupac AND Biggie

    Don Lemon is rich, he could choose a middle viewpoint, because confrontation is more exciting for humans
    it triggers

    why do you think Stephen A Smith was doing so well?
    if you remove the alternate viewpoint (Max Kellerman) everything goes to crap and people don't make money

    In the end, people care about themselves and money. that's it.

    Political Parties are just cults and fuels human beings need to be tribal.

    Don Lemon's employer CNN and to a much lesser extent Russell Brand's youtube channel are money making ventures. Their obligations are not to their audience but to their "shareholders". They both have target audiences and demographics that they looking to attract, appease and maintain, for the benefit of their shareholders. Neither should be considered Brokers of Truth.

    Russell brand has proven to be more of a free spirit and is not bound to a tv show he has to be on everyday
    Plus it’s much better to be a foreigner talking about American politics
    And a comedian because comedians are better than politicians
    They tell you jokes
    Politicians make you the joke

    More than 120,000 US kids had caregivers die during pandemic
    Mike Stobbe

    Associated Press

    Published: October 6, 2021 11:15 pm

    NEW YORK – The number of U.S. children orphaned during the COVID-19 pandemic may be larger than previously estimated, and the toll has been far greater among Black and Hispanic Americans, a new study suggests.

    More than half the children who lost a primary caregiver during the pandemic belonged to those two racial groups, which make up about 40% of the U.S. population, according to the study published Thursday by the medical journal Pediatrics.

    Russel Brand also makes comments about the vaccine from a place of ignorance and fear.

    Your crazy uncle doesn't have the incentives of mainstream media but does that mean you automatically trust him on nuanced pharma and virology issues?

    Brand appears to be making his living nowadays as a youtube "influencer".

    Funny thing, Brand beats up CNN for covid vax shaming people, but where are the videos of Brand beating up Fox for being anti-science, anti-vax?

    More figures that I need Brand to explain to me



    92% of Ds have had at least one covid vaccine dose
    56% of Rs have had at least one covid vaccine dose

    9 of 10 states with the highest case rate per 100,000 people are run by GOP governors

    13 of the 14 states with the highest hospitalization rate per 100,000 people are run by GOP governors

    15 of the 16 states with the highest percentage of deaths per 100,000 people are run by GOP governors

    He's from England

    He doesn't think of R and D

    And actually many Americans of R or D,
    they think of MMI

    Me , Myself and I

    You can break out data any way you want. But you can break it up by RACE and INCOME as well.

    brother, I'm going to use this thing called "SEARCH"


    Oh look, he's not liked by Fox News

    Again, since you are a 99er, you know that the CABLE NEWS INDUSTRY IS ABOUT MONEY.

    as a 99er I see things as 99er, not by the political party cult.

    If 1000 people jumped off a cliff and die, it wouldn't be me because I don't follow group think.

    Like for a person, I evaluate their character not their race or political affiliation . I do consider what NBA team they like though .
    Oh and when they joined Clutchfans. That's the most important criteria.

    Yet Fox News are "in conservations" with bringing him on. I suspect that they like his strong Libertarian streak but not the rest.
