The problem with your style of response is that you deliberately miss the forest for the trees. You can make excuses for a million different things but if you have to make a million excuses, something is wrong.
Really, his response becomes laughable as soon as he says “I don’t watch Ben Shapiro, and maybe he’s what you’re claiming…” oh, yeah? Maybe everyone is right about the owner of the platform, who they’ve specifically called out by name for his positions? And halfway through this argument you just casually own up to not watching the one guy who everyone is basing these criticisms on? The guy who sets the tone for the entire rest of the platform because, again, he owns it?
Seems like a big blind spot to just brush off.
Also the “?” response to the complaint about Matt Walsh, which I’m pretty sure was the biggest two threads on KIA2 last week.
It’s the kind of response that is either deliberately obtuse, or self-outing as being completely uninformed on the topic.

I remember there was this passage in MK where the Austrian painter describes how frustrating it was to have arguments with the juice. They would be intentionally dense about anything that went against their narrative and then the next day they would pretend the discussion never happened, so he would have to explain everything to them all over again.

The claim was that the entire platform focuses on Israel. Which is false. I don't need to watch Ben Shapiro to know that. I'm also sure these critics don't religiously watch him, and yet they make the criticisms anyway.

If not watching Ben Shapiro is being 'completely uninformed on the topic', are you anything else?
And this is you sounding exactly like a “professional fact checker”. Constantly dissembling and misrepresenting so that you can achieve very technical pedantic victories against highly curated arguments. This shit doesn’t work anymore. Everyone sees you now.
If any of these arguments on its own is not sufficient to establish your case, then maybe present a few of them. Also, like I said, considering that some of the same people who call Ben Shapiro 'controlled opposition' say the same about literally everyone, including Tucker, it does not require a genius to not take seriously the boy crying wolf.
Which is why I criticized the arguments - they didn't establish the claim of the Daily Wire being 'controlled opposition' or any sweeping 'focus on Israel'.

Weird how similar they are...

Except that I actually look at the facts, instead of ignoring them.
It's the arguments your friends made. Quite ridiculous ones.
lol
That and he's controlled opposition himself. Not to mention a vax pusher and a sodomite.

That's literally what SoctaticMethod1 did
