I like Russell Brand, but he’s an oppressive blatherer. There’s no conversing with the man. Ask him a question and he’ll go on a verbal tear for six or seven minutes. By the time he’s finished you can’t remember what the subject was in the first place. He’s a brilliant fellow with piercing insights, but he’s exhausting.
Plus he’s been leaning more and more right lately. Brand’s claim that MSNBC and Fox News are equally unreliable is absolutely a false equivalency, particularly in the wake of the recent Dominion revelations about Fox anchors (Tucker Carlson in particular) knowing that Trump’s rigged election narrative was bullshit and yet shamelessly serving the Kool-Aid to their viewers about same.
In the backwash of this toxicity Brand visiting Carlson and talking about spirituality and God-light is just rancid…there’s really no other word.
