I have enjoyed his input in the debates I have seen him in; even when I disagree with him (about 50/50) he is always well informed, concise and measured. He often puts me in mind of Christopher Hitchens; though I think to the average bod in the street Hitchens might be a little more relatable and approachable. All The Best You say you disagree with Murray about 50% of the time. I would be interested to know what issues you disagree with him on. As for Chris Hitchens, he was brilliant, on so many issues he represented the voice of common sense. It would be difficult to put a finger on it to be honest. I have not seen a great deal of him but where I have my opinion has largely been "neutral" (50/50) on his actual points, but very impressed with how he articulates them most of the time. I tend to disagree with him on the few points I have seen him make about religions, because he obviously gives Christianity and Judaism a free pass for their past and present atrocities but singles out Islam for its past and present atrocities. There's an obvious bias there that lends credence to the idea he is an Islamophobe; which would be a natural standpoint for someone as far to the right of the political spectrum as he is. I disagree with him about Neoconservatism, mainly because so many of the rest of his views would deny liberty and justice to anyone he disagrees with - those who advocate for Trans Rights for example. But I do agree with him on some of the specific issues surrounding the said Trans Rights debate: Women's public bathrooms should be for biological women for example, trans-women competing in female sports have an unfair advantage as well. My main issue is that he professes to be one thing - Neoconservative, but then his publicly avowed views are often at odds with the cornerstones of Neoconservatism - freedom and liberty for example.

All The Best If it is about all of that then perhaps a better name for the station is Unhinged TV.
My opinion is the subject matter is barking up the loony tree. My wish is that people make videos with fresh thinking on important matters to do with the country and its prosperity. I hate to give the loons the oxygen of publicity.

I've just been pointed in the direction of something called 'UnHerdTV', never heard of it, but on first impressions it looks pretty good. Anything that includes Douglas Murray cant be all that bad. www.youtube.com/channel/UCMxiv15iK_MFayY_3fU9loQHowever, a left wing organisation grandly called 'The Global Disinformation Index' have attempted to shut down UnHerdTV, why? Because UnHerdTV aired the views of an academic, a very well qualified professor who said there were just two genders. In view of this GDI attempted to bully sponsors into cutting all funding for UnHeardTV. I hasten to add, It didn't work. Now do you see what sort of an organisation GDI is. They are UK based left wing bullies who's mission is to stifle free speech while aggressively promoting DEI, or woke. It has a very good discussion on COV-ID here, about creeping authorisation and control by technology. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_uAwsVn10Y |
