If you don't know, the Matt and Blonde Show was a weekly (briefly twice weekly) show going over a handful of noteworthy news stories for the week. Matt Christiansen hosted it on his channel, and it was co-hosted by Blonde. Matt's more of a borderline-autistic conservative, while Blonde is burn-this-shit-down reactionary, so they had a pretty interesting dynamic. One disassembles and analyzes a story, the other just rips it to shreds.
You may also have heard of Matt from the recent Tenet drama, since he was one of the channels under them. As an independent channel, he was always a very thorough investigator, and meticulous about sourcing his arguments. His work was practically spotless, which made it hard for anyone to smear him until the Tenet thing happened.
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear Matt's side apparently. Normally I'd back him immediately, but being involved in a phony federal investigation is the kind of pressure that makes most people crack, especially when they have something to lose.
TL;DR: Blonde says she'd have to pull back on important topics for her (likely race and failing democracy) for somewhat unclear reasons, and chose to leave the show instead, Matt says he'd word it differently. It's all very vague as of yet.
While I'm sure Blonde may have had some kind of hand in this it sounds like Matt was the main problem. It sounds like he was a control freak, and telling her he's not going to risk the livelihood of his family with her over 5% is fucking stupid.
I don't believe this. Blonde is very opinionated. There is no way she wouldn't have suggested some stuff to Matt.
Of course he wasn't going to attend.
Blonde said she didn't want to do the final show because she knew it would devolve into an argument/debate about who is at fault, and she would be right. Especially when the dumb superchats got involved. I'm also not really surprised to see him throw her under the bus with the audience. Matt seems like that much of a petty bitch.
I'm not surprised. It was Blonde's idea and you could tell he hated it. It also outed his taste in movies as shit. If a movie doesn't have some kind of underline philosophy or "make him think" afterwards he hates it. I started to lose respect for Matt when the movie reviews started because they pretty much put his elitist mindset on blast.
