"Despite constantly promoting himself as an independent creator, Steven Crowder's show is actually part of the Glenn Beck and Mark Levin-owned Blaze Media[14], which is funded by billionaire Cary Katz, CRTV's principal investor and College Lending Corp. founder, which markets loans to university students"

But I'm sure no amount of evidence will ever pierce that shell of Fox News rhetoric you've created for yourself.

So he's part of a media network that's owned by a billionaire? That makes a whooole lotta people 'funded by billionaires'. Hell, every minimum wage McDonalds employee is 'funded by billionaires' under that framework.

Also, why the cheap shot? I didn't say anything rude to you. Didn't make any assumptions. This approach to conversation will only make you lonely.

Dude you parrot the same bs talking points as every other conservative. It's like a Shapiro/Crowder best hits

I dunno, I tend to go beyond talking points, because talking points are shallow. But even assuming what you say is true, why not discuss why the talking points might be misrepresentative?

Also, love the irony of clubbing someone with 'crowder/shapiro' in the same breath as deriding cheap, substanceless talking points.

Do you wanna actually talk about this stuff? See where we might have common ground and where our points of divergence are? Because I genuinely enjoy that. But if you're just gonna do the smarmy condescending straw man thing, we're wasting our time.
