Tim Pool has been what many of us might call a lefty journalist. He worked for Vice and Fusion. He agreed with lefty MandatoryGoodThink when saying in an Reddit Q&A a few years ago that “I believe racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and religious bias are all real problems…”
But unlike his #MediaJackal colleagues, he seems to be willing to report politically incorrect facts. He is getting woke to the lies of the left. Look at his tweets: he’s saying that mainstream #MediaJackal journalism is “insane” and “dead,” that the Democrats are “pushing far left policies,” that #MediaJackals are craven when it comes to defending press freedom, that YouTube and Facebook deplatforming is like Communist China, and that Project Veritas was right. Plus a bit of making fun of SJW language police and laughing at the left’s insistence that Orange Man Very Very Bad.
These are dangerous opinions to express publicly. Tim Pool is not on the right, at least not yet. But he seems to be willing to tell the truth, even when it makes the left look like fools. He is independent, and that cannot be tolerated. He also understands that the right, unlike the left, allows dissent and free expression. The question is how long it will take for the rest of BigTech to follow Facebook’s lead.
