Bret Weinstein.
shareI just looked him up. Is he slammed for his COVID views?
shareWhy base your opinion on him based on what others say?
He has a podcast with his wife and you can listen to him speak and make your own judgments.
You can find him on Rumble. His interview with Robert Kennedy Jr would be a good place to start.
You could also read his book or articles he has written.
I don't have any opinions on him. I just looked him up and was wondering if people criticized him for COVID views. Whether I agree with his views or not is a different story.
shareI love the Dark Horse podcast. His brother Eric Weinstein is also brilliant but no longer does a podcast himself.
shareMy favourite bit so far was when he took Ivermectin, used a pill cutter and the look on Heather's face when he brought out the safety glasses before he cut the pill. God bless him.
shareMort Sahl - even after his death.
He had a CIA and an FBI file

But a couple of good ones, including this one from just months ago, revealing the FBI kept tabs on Mort, but believed it would backfire, since he was already successful attacking Hoover/FBI, and would only increase his attacks (unlike the other phonies)

Gerard Depardieu. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the allegations before a trial but while I can say he's a tax dodging mate of Putin's, he's a gifted actor regardless and his performances are mesmerising.
shareYou don't have to agree with the reason for them being slammed by the media, this is just someone you like that the media trashes.
