Rev Left Radio being called “Misleading” is so fucking bonkers to me.
Breht is such a thoughtful and genuine guy. And the show has so many guests on with differing perspectives. Like, yeah ok, some of those guests might say things one disagrees with, are debated within a given field, or are otherwise occasionally incorrect. But the ethos of that show is about getting the listener to know how to think, and thoughtfully approach things, from a broad left perspective. It’s not just feeding you normative claims and calling it a day.
Anyway, go listen to RevLeft, Breht is such a gift
Ad Fontes never analyzed or listened to the show. They noticed that it was “far-left” (it’s in the name!). And far-left = biased = misleading/unfactual, by definition. It’s that simple.

This is just a “supports author’s worldview” chart. Peak liberal “reputable sources” ideology

What is Ad Fontes and how did they even know about RevLeft? I feel like RevLeft is pretty off the radar.
Probably just searched “radical leftist podcast” and randomly assigned the list into the evil tankie zone.

Rev Left: “Marx said this: [Reads accurate quote.]”
Ad Fontes: “No he didn’t”
Breht is fine, thoughtful, ok, but he comes across as condescending 80% of the time, and I find that really off putting.
