You realize you're actually kind of proving his point for him right? (about the toxic purification process)
(I've heard people on the left souring on Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian recently too)

Any particular reason you think he's a joke?

He's dedicated the last 20+ years to doing solid journalism and writing that came from a progressive perspective, and was highly praised by the left, but then a lot of them turned on him because of how he responded to the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Basically, because Ezra opted to not stick the boot in while the body was still warm, people on the left turned on him.

They turned on Glen Greenwald (for holding a contrary viewpoint on Ukraine) as well.


However, if you have a different reason why Ezra no longer passes progressive muster, I'm all ears.

The fact that any of those guys would be considered "persona non grata" within the Democratic movements baffles me.

Especially now that talks of UAPs have gotten more prevalent recently.

He could've dovetailed that into his existing books.

This is what you think. It isn't about "purification".

Are they still around? I haven't heard from them in years.

Every time I read some comment from him it is some bad take. No particular item, jut a cumulative impact on my memory. I can't say I've ever read any of his stuff and apparently he has a podcast I've never heard.d

I saw this claim, so I googled it. I understand why though. Klein's column completely didn't understand who Kirk was and praised him for having "debates" with students.

The best time to criticize awful people is when the are alive. When they are newly dead is the second best time. Unlike a lot of people I hang with, I am not obsessed with Dick Cheney, so I didn't go after him this week. I just didn't care. Kirk was an awful person. He didn't deserve to die, but he didn't deserve praise either.

First time I ever heard of GG he was messing up his reporter's opsec so badly he helped some naive young woman 5 years in the clink for leaking secrets. Then there is his involvement in the Snowdon/Assange operation.

I just think he is a joke with bad takes.
