I'm neither defending nor promoting Posobiec...


...as an arbiter of the truth -- I'm just pointing out that he's a non-MSM voice from the right.

I think the pizza gate stuff is as stupid and conspiratorial as a lot of what I hear lefties going on about on here from time to time. I never paid any attention to it at the time and had never heard of Posobiec back when that story was in the news, so I don't know what he wrote about it.

If he promoted it as a legit news story, then I'd say he was wrong to do so, but that doesn't mean he can't be a good source in other areas. The MSM -- NYT, WaPo, CNN, etc., -- has been wrong too many times to count (and equally as stupid and conspiratorial as the pizza gate nonsense), but I wouldn't rule out everything they have to say just because they got some things wrong.

The funny thing about being on the right is that even if all we were to read is right-wing news, then we'd still know what the left is saying because the right-wing media is so fixated on the left-wing media. We might disagree with the MSM take on something, but we'd at least know that it exists and what it is.

I don't think you can say the same about the left generally speaking. Many of them (not all) simply will not watch or read anything outside their bubble, and that bubble only covers the bubble's narratives. I see it on this board all the time when people make it a point of pride to say, "I'm not clicking that link!" Countless times, I've noticed that lefties on the board here (or in real life) aren't even aware that another side of the debate exists, much less what it is.
