    Why would I watch the daily caller which is known to be propaganda for the extreme right?

    Tim Pool is legit and very unbiased. He is a devout left centrist who adheres to strict journalists ethics. You don't even have the patience to see who you are bashing, so why should I even take your opinion seriously since you just proved it is "anti" the "OTHER" by default.

    LOL!

    I have no idea what is it with you conservatives that can't stand behind your beliefs and must claim to be 'Centrists...liberals...etc etc' to argue your point. Tim Pool is about as center as Dave Rubin, that is to tsay he isn't at all and just claims to be left.

    If you are claiming to be left and most of your audience are actually conservatives then you're probably not really part of the left.

    EDIT:

    So can anyone tell me where the unbias is at? This dude's channel is no different than any other conservative.

    Sorry bud, but Jaygoogle just popped your bubble. I will never take anything on the dailycaller or breitbart or other junk news sites seriously. If you want me to read something, post it from a legit news source.

    He is a leftist who is policing his own because like me he has been moved "right" by the shift in the overton window because of far left idiots like you and Sweets. Less than a decade ago I was a democrat and my views have little changed. Regardless, if a person is left or right, the facts they present are important. So your argument to throw out a person's information because of a political leaning is BS. So let's throw out CNN, FOX, AP, Reuters, BBC, and all other outlets for their leanings. You are full of it Jay and you are a far left weirdo so I would expect as much from you.

    He is a journalist and legit one. You are an idiot if you disregard someone just because they are independent. You are a herd animal. Baaaah. MOOOO. The guy actually goes and presents facts which can be verified, so I trust him over some corporation. Because guess what. Corporations are just as corrupt as normal people, if not MORE because of profit motive. You probably believe everything you read in CNN because they slant their news far left, without question of their moral standing. He talks about news that goes all the way to The New Yorker. Oh, wow, a far right publication isn't it! Scary huh? You are so limited in intelligence that you can only shoot the messenger in order to avoid hearing how wrong you are all the time.

    Also the SPLC mislabeled Tim Pool until it finally came out and labeled him an individual on the left. Even they admit he is left.

    Sure, whatever he and you say. The guy doesn't take liberal positions, he takes conservative ones and then claims he is left.

    He does this to fool people like you into believing that the left has moved 'FAR LEFT' when the American left has always been very moderate in the first place...

    Now, as for his information. You are being completely dishonest (as usual) by claiming it is wrong to attribute his video to the Daily Caller...the first minute of the video Pool is GOING OFF A STORY FROM THE DAILY CALLER. So @Sweet Lou 4 2 was completely correct to attribute that video to a Daily Caller video since all Pool does is share and read the article and AGREE with it. So here you have a 'Leftist' that gets his news from the Daily Caller?

    As for the points he makes in this video...

    "Leftists and the SPLC are the REAL racists here!" Oh, how original, it was days ago I was told from a conservative here that it is actually RACIST to call people racist...

    That's the 14 minute video summed up so that no one else has to waste 14 minutes watching it. That's really all he hit on new here, everything else has been covered in this thread already. He thinks the SPLC is committing fraud and I guess wants to silence them, which is ironic considering he's a big FREE SPEECH guy...

    it's always odd to me how these right wing free speech will defend the free speech of people spouting hateful race propaganda...but let someone say "RACIST" and they retreat immediately from their free speech stance and want to silence them.

    The left has moved far left you weirdo. And the Daily Caller went off The New Yorker, so it really isn't much a question of left or right. It is commentary. Watch it if you want bro.

    I'm guessing you weren't alive in the 1970s when legit socialism and communism via unions was squarely in the liberal orbit.

    If anybody argued for the Equal Rights Amendment today, conservative heads would explode. It was three states away from being part of the Constitution and Richard MF'ing Nixon endorsed it.

    Birchers used to be fringe conservative wackos that no sane conservative took seriously. Now their politics seem a bit too liberal and wishy washy to fly in your orbit.

    Here.... a leftist source. Because only leftists are able to do the job of journalist. And a big company too! Now your only excuse can be that you don't like reading.

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/news...rris-dees-and-the-southern-poverty-law-center

    "For those of us who’ve worked in the Poverty Palace, putting it all into perspective isn’t easy, even to ourselves. We were working with a group of dedicated and talented people, fighting all kinds of good fights, making life miserable for the bad guys. And yet, all the time, dark shadows hung over everything: the racial and gender disparities, the whispers about sexual harassment, the abuses that stemmed from the top-down management, and the guilt you couldn’t help feeling about the legions of donors who believed that their money was being used, faithfully and well, to do the Lord’s work in the heart of Dixie. We were part of the con, and we knew it."

    "In the days since the stunning dismissal of Morris Dees, the co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, on March 14th, I’ve been thinking about the jokes my S.P.L.C. colleagues and I used to tell to keep ourselves sane. Walking to lunch past the center’s Maya Lin–designed memorial to civil-rights martyrs, we’d cast a glance at the inscription from Martin Luther King, Jr., etched into the black marble—“Until justice rolls down like waters”—and intone, in our deepest voices, “Until justice rolls down like dollars.”"

    "The firing of Dees has flushed up all the uncomfortable questions again. Were we complicit, by taking our paychecks and staying silent, in ripping off donors on behalf of an organization that never lived up to the values it espoused? Did we enable racial discrimination and sexual harassment by failing to speak out? “Of course we did,” a former colleague told me, as we parsed the news over the phone. “It’s shameful, but when you’re there you kind of end up accepting things. I never even considered speaking out when things happened to me! It doesn’t feel good to recognize that. I was so into the work, and so motivated by it, I kind of shrugged off what was going on.”"

    He's not independent and he's not a journalist. He's a paid tool to pretend he is on the left. Sort of like that guy who Sean Hannity hires to be a "leftist" and say stupid things so he can rip him apart and look good.

    I'm sorry that you can't have an intelligent respectful debate with me. Enjoy ranting

    You're running because you have no actual point and you can only attack the messenger. I even linked to a leftist source for you in this thread, but you will run from that too because you don't want your precious SPLC hate group to be called out. I would prefer you to stay and debate though, because your answers amuse me. Your choice.

    I haven't really attacked you. You however are attacking me a great deal. With all due respect you have some issues to resolve if you can't see that.

    Your NYer piece doesn't say anything about SPLC being a hate group.
