      Majority Report, Some More News. I suppose the on the other side of the aisle it would be Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro.

      There is still some of the fourth estate left that hasn’t been bought by oligarchs, it’s just not exactly effective on the leftward side of the overton window.

        Isn’t the Daily Wire funded by oil barons? I wouldn’t put them in the same category as MR which is entirely funded by their viewers and a handful of sponsors.
